A joint Indonesian-Australian exhibition uses historical objects to rethink the ties and connections between the two countries, as well as their colonial histories. The intricate, earth-colored patterns on the cloth looked like the motifs of Australia’s indigenous Aborigine people. Displayed in the Jakarta Textile Museum, the white-and-reddish-orange symmetrical triangles typically take the shape of crocodiles, kangaroos or rainbow serpents in their dreamtime traditional beliefs and mythology.
