Maningrida
Arts & Culture, Northern Territory, is one of Australia’s
largest Aboriginal artists’ co-operatives. Works in
fibre from the Maningrida region are recognised nationally
and internationally as some of the country’s finest.
The hand-woven fish traps are produced not only for markets
in the wider economy but also for seasonal hunting and gathering
and for highly specialised ceremonial purposes. Production
is also enhanced by the availability of resources from different
environments existing in the region. Maningrida fish traps
were featured in the 2009 GoMA exhibition titled Floating
Life: Contemporary Aboriginal Fibre Art.
