FORM

Project and Exhibition Partners

Collaboration is the cornerstone of Ngurra Kuju Walyja - The Canning Stock Route Project. FORM would like to thank the nine partner art centres and cultural organisations – the artists, family members and communities for contributing their collective energies to the Project. FORM would also like to thank its multi-disciplinary, cross-cultural team of arts and cultural workers, curators, filmmakers, photographers, cultural advisors, translators, anthropologists, writers, designers, cartographers, administrators and fundraisers for making the Canning Stock Route Project and its exhibition, Yiwarra Kuju, possible.

FORM would also like to thank the National Museum of Australia and its staff, in particular Dr. Michael Pickering, Director of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Program. FORM is especially grateful to the Project’s Principal Partner, BHP Billiton Iron Ore, and Major Government Partner, the Government of Western Australia’s Department of Culture and the Arts.
