The title MIMMI draws on the sacred spirit beings known across parts of Northern Australia – figures who embody creation, knowledge, and the passing of cultural practice. In this exhibition, MIMMI becomes a metaphor for the women who carry story, hold community, and lead through strength and care. Each artwork reflects a unique narrative, grounded in Country, kinship, and cultural continuity.

Through a diverse range of mediums, including painting, textiles, and sculptural forms, the exhibition explores themes of survival, healing, and empowerment. These works are not only visual expressions but acts of storytelling – reclaiming space, amplifying voice, and challenging dominant narratives that have historically silenced Aboriginal women.

MIMMI Sisters in Strength stands as a testament to the strength of Aboriginal women – past, present, and future –honouring their stories, their voices, and their unbreakable connection to culture and Country.
