Alhalkere
Alhalkere is a traditional Indigenous Australian art form that originates from the Ngarrindjeri people of the Murray River region. It involves intricate designs and patterns that often reflect the natural environment, cultural stories, and spiritual beliefs of the community. Artists use various materials, including bark, canvas, and textiles, to create their works, which are often vibrant and colorful.
The practice of Alhalkere is not only a means of artistic expression but also serves as a way to preserve and share the rich cultural heritage of the Ngarrindjeri people. Through this art form, stories are passed down through generations, fostering a deeper connection to land and identity.
