Replant: a new generation of botanical art straddles the boundaries between science and art; an excursion into the remarkable world of plants in the tropical north of Australia through the eyes of six Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian printmakers and a photographer. Working with the Northern Territory Herbarium and traditional knowledge custodians from the Daly River region, the artists investigate the unique characteristics of Indigenous plant species that survive and prosper through the climatic extremes of monsoonal rains, dry weather and wild fires.
Through its unique cross-cultural collaborative approach, Replant reflects the traditional role of women as gatherers of food and holders of knowledge, while the process of printmaking has developed as a significant medium for Indigenous artists.

Printmakers: Fiona Hall (SA), Judy Watson (QLD), Winsome Jobling (NT), Deborah Wurrkidj (NT), Marita Sambono (NT) and Irene Mungatopi (NT).
