Hear about the evolution of this incredible exhibition from its origins in the creative partnership formed between Nyamba Buru Yawuru and the Western Australian Museum, through to securing funding from the WA Department for Culture and the Arts for its very valuable emerging curator program.
The curatorial team from Lustre: Pearling and Australia talk about how the exhibition evolved, with its key focus on merging the indigenous story of pearling and the significance of pearl shell, with the history of European pearling in WA.
Presented in association with Nyamba Buru Yawuru Ltd and the Western Australian Maritime Museum.
