"First Nations garments have always held deep meaning. What we wear tells
stories about culture, Country and community.
From the moment of invasion, clothing and adornment were removed and used to
erase our cultural presence. But resistance never stopped.
Today, First Nations designers, artists and community members continue to
reclaim garments as acts of survival, empowerment and self-determination.
Cultural practices like cloak-making and adornment are linked to wellbeing.
They restore pride, connect to ancestors and Country, and build community.
First Nations fashion designers and artists create exquisite items that
represent culture, speak back to colonisation, and contribute to healing."
