The Hopevale Project combines QUT fashion and media students, in collaboration with the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair, on a journey that integrates Hope Vale Indigenous artworks into a virtual fashion display.
Our collection is called Guulil, meaning Jellyfish in the native Guugu Yimithirr language, is a signifier of the Aboriginal belief that true harmony exists when every element of the natural environment works together. This is why “Guulil” is the Hope Vale x QUT fashion collection name. Fitting in with the theme of the 2020 Cairns Indigenous Art Fair, "Climate Change", this collection will display the Hope Vale artists work in the form of fashion to communicate the physical and spiritual harmony needed with our oceans.
