Tiwi Textiles: Design, Making, Process tells the story of the
innovative Tiwi Design centre on Bathurst Island in northern
Australia, dedicated to the production of hand-printed fabrics
featuring Indigenous designs, from the 1970s to today. Written by
early art coordinator Diana Wood Conroy with oral testimony from
senior Tiwi artist Bede Tungutalum, who established Tiwi Design in
1969 with fellow designer Giovanni Tipungwuti, the book traces the
beginnings of the centre, and its subsequent place in the Tiwi
community and Australian Indigenous culture more broadly. Bringing
together many voices and images, especially those of little-known
older artists of Paru and Wurrumiyanga (formerly Nguiu) on the Tiwi
Islands and from the Indigenous literature, Tiwi Textiles features
profiles of Tiwi artists, accounts of the development of new design
processes, insights into Tiwi culture and language, and personal
reflections on the significance of Tiwi Design, which is still
proudly operating today.
