Tayenebe, a Tasmanian Aboriginal word meaning 'exchange', celebrates the revitalisation of Tasmanian Aboriginal weaving that has been taking place in recent years. In a project that saw a group of 35 Tasmanian Aboriginal women and girls travel across Tasmania, sharing stories and practicing the traditional Aboriginal fibre skills of their ancestors, new objects were created that now sit at the heart of this exhibition. Exquisite baskets and kelp water carriers in contemporary and traditional styles are shown with a historical basket made around 1845 which has never before been seen outside Tasmania. This project is a collaboration between the artists, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, National Museum of Australia and Arts Tasmania.
