CROSS CULTURE CHRISTMAS HEART MINA MINA JUKURRPA

Better World Arts Initially, we worked with traditional handicrafts. In 1996, we invited Aboriginal artists to join our projects and soon after decided to focus on the Aboriginal art side of the projects and left the normal handicrafts to others like Oxfam. We work with traditional artisans from remote regions in Kashmir, Peru, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Nepal (Tibetan refugees). We unite traditional handicrafts from cultures steeped in artisanal traditions with artwork by Australian Aboriginal artists from remote communities across Australia, from Arnhem Land to Central and Western Desert regions, from rural locations, and from cities. More recently, we have started working with non-indigenous Australian artists who represent quintessential Australian themes.
