Koora wordel (Always was). Kalygool wordel (Always will be).

Working with WA Museum’s Emerging Curators program, we developed the exhibition identity and suite of digital graphics for the online exhibition ‘Always Wadjemup’.

This design incorporates symbols for people meeting at two campsites, linked by a travelling path representing the passage between Wadjemup and the mainland. Surrounding this, are Aboriginal symbols for rivers and lakes that represent the body of water between the two places.

The outline of a thumbprint relates to the exhibition’s story of how Aboriginal people sought their own identity and ownership. In the same way that every thumbprint is unique, the exhibition shares unique stories of Wadjemup and the people connected to it.
