Madjem Bambandila: The Art and Country of Kelly Koumalatsos

By Kelly Koumalatsos & Dr Paola Balla

Madjem Bambandila is a stunning celebration of the artistic and cultural practice of acclaimed Wergaia and Wemba Wemba artist Kelly Koumalatsos.

Co-written by Kelly Koumalatsos and Dr Paola Balla and featuring the voices of a broad range of artists, writers and cultural figures, Madjem Bambandila takes a unique community-based approach to storytelling.

The book takes the form of a possum cloak, stitching together conversations, essays, poems and personal reflections to create a volume that is warm and grounded in culture.

‘Kelly’s work is quintessentially south-eastern, and it beautifully represents the heart, strength and power of Koorie art as a continuing sovereign force.’ Dr Paola Balla

‘This is blak storytelling at its deadliest!’ Dr Shannon Faulkhead.
