tayenebe: Tasmanian Aboriginal Women's Fibre Work was on show at the National Museum of Australia from 30 March to 25 July 2010 in the Gallery of First Australians Focus Gallery.
tayenebe, a Tasmanian Aboriginal word meaning 'exchange', celebrates the revitalisation of Tasmanian Aboriginal weaving that has been taking place over the past three years.
The tayenebe exhibition included beautiful baskets and kelp water carriers in contemporary and traditional styles, along with a historical basket made around 1845 which had never before been seen outside Tasmania.
