Injalak Arts has been a centre for art, craft and community since opening in 1989. Known for their innovative screen-printing textile studio and numerous collaborations, their fabrics have featured in acclaimed fashion collections. Featuring the work of emerging, mid-career and senior artists, the exhibition Country on Cloth: screen printed fabric from Injalak Arts brings together a selection of their most striking designs from across their 35 year history.Based in Gunbalanya, an Aboriginal community of 1200 in West Arnhem Land at the top of the Northern Territory in Australia, the studio is 300kms east of Darwin and less than an hour from Kakadu.In Kunwinjku, the language of the artists, Injalak means shelter. Injalak Arts prides themselves on creating a safe place for culture, creativity and knowledge to bloom within the community.
