Cultural Knowledge is Currency: Generation. Transmission. Protection.

Cultural Knowledge is Currency is a new exhibition led by Yidinji Traditional Owner and cultural leader Carl Fourmile, in collaboration with Minjil. Centred on the revival and reinterpretation of the Yidinji people’s unique square-cut nautilus shell regalia, the project extends traditional knowledge into the present through hands-on fabrication, storytelling, and creative documentary-making. This body of work celebrates both the resilience of Yidinji cultural practices and the adaptability of contemporary art in maintaining living traditions.
