Published July 2022
Tour through the Country of Kaanju, Kuku Ta’u, Girramay artist Emma Hollingsworth, engaging with stories, places and totems from her culture in a powerful new way.
Emma invites Indigenous peoples and allies alike along to visit meaningful places from her childhood, accompanied by stories she was told by her ancestors and encountering the community members, wildlife and animals that bring her world to life along the way.
Mulganai features 45 artworks for readers to colour in as they work their way through the book, but the memories and descriptions in Emma’s own words make this more than just a colouring book; it is a celebration of a contemporary First Nations artist and her home community and culture.
About the author
Emma Hollingsworth is a Kaanju, Kuku Ya’u, Girramay woman who grew up in tropical far north Queensland. Her work is a reflection of her heritage and culture, and she uses vibrant colours and designs to pay homage to her youthfulness blending with her ancient culture.
Her work shares her own story of a young Indigenous woman growing up and paving her own path in a modern world and all the trials and tribulations that go in hand with that.
