Bábbarra Womens Centre

Bábbarra Designs is our textile studio specialising in the production of hand-printed fabric design. We are one of only a few Indigenous textile-producing art centres in Australia that design, print and sew product onsite, in community.

We operate an op shop and a community laundromat, and we support women’s centres on remote homeland outstations in the region.

We are governed by women for women, led by the strong voices of our Bábbarra Women’s Board. In this space, we women are in charge. We are part of Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation, which was set up by Maningrida community leaders in 1974 to support people to live on their homelands.
