Warrajamba


  • Museum of Brisbane 64 Adelaide Street Brisbane City, QLD, 4000 Australia (map)

Follow the mermaid in the bay.

Dive into story, culture and hands-on creativity with our latest Artist in Residence, Quandamooka artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins.

Journey alongside Delvene to the shores of Minjerribah and discover the ancestral story of Warrajamba, the mermaid, a living cultural legacy that Delvene continues to explore as she searches for its lost ending.

Get hands-on and create your own mermaid or dugong using artist-designed stamps, connecting with the stories of Warrajamba and Yungong, the dugong. Discover Delvene’s powerful sculptural work made from materials gathered from Country—yungair/yungaire (freshwater reed), talwalpin (beach hibiscus cotton tree), and quampie shell. Come and be immersed in a space that celebrates care for land, sea and story.

Visitors are also invited to create and connect through a series of workshops, school holiday activities, and opportunities to see Delvene creating in the space. Want to be the first to know? Become a MoB Member.
