Gija Goowoolem doo Minybernem – Gija Trees and Grasses
A breathtaking fusion of fine art and cultural knowledge, Gija Goowoolem doo Minybernem features 72 luminous paintings by acclaimed Gija artist and Elder Birrmarriya Shirley Purdie. Each work depicts significant trees and grasses from Gija Country in the East Kimberley, accompanied by stories of their traditional uses, cultural meanings and connection to Ngarranggarni (Creation Time). Created with long‑time collaborator Frances Kofod, this book is both an exquisite art catalogue and a profound expression of cultural legacy and care for Country.

ngargee: Coming Together to Celebrate – Southeast Australian Aboriginal Art
Bold, contemporary and richly illustrated, ngargee showcases the dynamism of southeast Australian Aboriginal art today. Led by the creative practice of internationally renowned artist Maree Clarke, the book brings together multiple artists and collaborators in a series of intercultural conversations. Through photography, sculpture, painting and revived cultural practices, ngargee celebrates art‑making as an act of connection, sovereignty and celebration. The word ngargee means “coming together to celebrate” in Boonwurrung language, capturing the spirit at the heart of this powerful publication.
