Gulbuuygu: Hope Vale X QUT Fashion
Gulbuuygu celebrates eight years of collaboration between Queensland University of Technology (QUT) fashion students and artists from the Hope Vale Arts and Cultural Centre in Cape York Peninsula.
Taking its name from the Guugu Yimithirr word meaning together, the exhibition features garments and textiles developed through the partnership, alongside works on paper that reveal the initial designs underpinning them. A selection of paintings by Hope Vale artists establishes the rich cultural and creative context from which the collaboration has grown, while also affirming the independent practices of these established artists.
The exhibition highlights a collaborative process grounded in learning, creativity, and respect for cultural knowledge. Rather than presenting a single outcome, Gulbuuygu frames the collaboration as an ongoing dialogue shaped by trust, place, and shared making over time.
