Warrajamba
Warrajamba
Follow the mermaid in the bay.
Dive into story, culture and hands-on creativity with Museum of Brisbane’s latest Artist in Residence, Quandamooka artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins.
Journey alongside Delvene to the shores of Minjerribah and discover the ancestral story of Warrajamba, the mermaid, a living cultural legacy that Delvene continues to explore as she searches for its lost ending.
Get hands-on and create your own mermaid or dugong using stamps featuring Delvene’s designs, connecting with the stories of Warrajamba and Yungong, the dugong. Discover Delvene’s powerful sculptural work made from materials gathered from Country—yungair/yungaire (freshwater reed), talwalpin (beach hibiscus cotton tree), and quampie shell.
Come and be immersed in a space that celebrates care for land, sea and story.
