Together with the Indigenous communities of the Wanjina Wunggurr - comprising the Ngarinyin, Worrorra, and Wunambal peoples - we look back at the Frobenius Expedition to the Kimberley Region of North West Australia in 1938-39. Organised by the former Institute for Cultural Morphology and the Frankfurt Museum of Ethnology (today: the Frobenius Institute and the Weltkulturen Museum), it was the first comprehensive ethnographic research expedition to a region still today characterised by a vibrant rock art tradition. The publication accompanying the exhibition of the same name is the result of a joint exploration of the expedition's research history and includes contemporary interpretations of the collections acquired at the time.

Exhibition: Country bin pull'em at the Weltkulturen Museum, Frankfurt am Main, Germany. From 1 November 2024-31 August 2025.
