Boomalli, one of Australiaβs longest running Aboriginal artistsβ co-operatives, is threatened with closure. Based in Sydneyβs inner-city suburb of Leichhardt, Boomalli was set up in 1987 by Aboriginal artists to get their art recognised.
Boomalli means βto strike, to make a mark, to fight back, to light up,β in the languages of the Kamilaroi, Wiradjuri and Bundjalung peoples of New South Wales.
