Country bin pull’em

Together with the Indigenous communities of the Wanjina Wunggurr—comprising the Ngarinyin, Worrorra, and Wunambal peoples—we look back at the Frobenius Expedition to the Kimberley Region of North West Australia in 1938–39. Organized by the former Institute for Cultural Morphology and the Frankfurt Museum of Ethnology (today: the Frobenius Institute and the Weltkulturen Museum), it was the first comprehensive ethnographic research expedition to a region still today characterized by a vibrant rock art tradition. The publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name is the result of a joint exploration of the expedition’s research history and includes contemporary interpretations of the collections acquired at the time.
