Heru Ini Lafu: Weaving Life

A Journey into Community and the Woven Art of East Timor

The Heru Ini Lafu: Weaving Life exhibition merges contemporary Australian Art and photography with East Timorese hand-weavings to create a visual celebration of two distinct cultures. This integrated exhibition will tantalise your senses and shed new light on the history and culture of East Timor.

Heru Ini Lafu means Weaving Life in Makalero, the language of the Iliomar region in the south-eastern highlands of East Timor. For people in this isolated community, the art of weaving is integral to social life and plays a vital role in ritual and ceremony.

Through the medium of hand-weaving, ETWA volunteers work to help women weave sustainable communities in East Timor.
