newbooksnetwork.com/trading-birds-of-paradise-a-brief-history-by-jude-philp

Long praised for their splendid plumage, birds of paradise are a rare sight only to be found in the remote rainforests of New Guinea and associated islands. They are among the earliest animals to have the inglorious honour of obtaining legal protection against their trade. While the trade in the species is more than a millennium old, it was only in the late 19th century that globalisation pushed some bird of paradise species towards extinction.

In this episode, Dr Jude Philp, Senior Curator at the Chau Chak Wing Museum, explores the dark history of the trade in birds of paradise, the destruction of their habitat, and the ways in which local people have tried to protect the species.

Don't miss this incredible exhibition!
Over three years Yolŋu elders and artists have worked with our curators to determine how their artwork, knowledge and Law is shown to visitors in an ambitious exhibition of over 300 works, Gululu dhuwala djalkiri: welcome to the Yolŋu foundations. Collections at the University include images, objects, and paintings from Yurrwi (Milingimbi), Ramingining and Yirrkala made between 1920s-2020s. In celebration of our recent collaboration and close-to 100 year association we have made a series of films documenting our exhibition process and a richly illustrated book. Both share contributions from Yolŋu elders and artists as well as Indigenous and non-Indigenous historians and curators, and explore the meaning of “collections” and the histories and changing relationships between Yolŋu communities and museums.

Beautiful barkcloth... and the name of the exhibition "Where Clouds are Spirit Parrots", excites my imagination. Where to see more of these, with some notes describing them? Tagging Bill Evans, Deniz Milasli.
