Karen Coote – Archiving in a Community

Karen has recently been working with the artists of Injalak Arts from Gunbalanya (Oenpelli). The objective has been to create a purpose built room that now houses chosen works of bark, paper, fibre and related historical material. Karen has worked in the Kimberley and Top End since the mid 1980’s. It has been Karen’s vital focus to enable artists and their families to visit their original work.

Karen has worked at the Australian Museum for 20 years as Senior Conservator specialising in Aboriginal and Pacific Island Cultural Material.
