Abstract
- The article presents information on the revival of the art of creating cloaks made of possum skins, in Australia. It is stated that cloaks of stitched-together possum skins were traditional garb for Aboriginal people in the southeastern part of the country. Possum-skin cloakmaking's revival started in 1999, after cloakmaker Vicki Couzens and other woman attended a printmaking workshop for Aboriginal artists.
