Editors’ picks

Charlotte Allingham she/they @coffinbirth on Instagram (artist)

I met Charlotte 5 years ago when we volunteered together for SEED, an Indigenous Youth Climate Justice Network. Back then, Charlotte’s art absolutely fascinated me and it has only become even more beautiful. Charlotte is a Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa creator. She creates the most beautiful strong blak warrior characters I’ve ever seen in art. The vibrance and relationship between the colours and the delicately placed details are my favourite aspects of her work. I love the inclusivity, the variety of characters, the beauty in their existence, and the emotions evoked by her art. Literally just scroll through her Instagram account and you will be blessed. Also she has a shop so buy her art. Or else.

Amber Days the Label

@amberdays_thelabel on Instagram (clothing)

Founded by Corina, a Boonwurrung and Yorta Yorta woman, Amber Days has grown to be a successful business supplying ethically sustainable clothing that feature the most gorgeous Aboriginal designs. I have borrowed a few of my sister’s clothes from Amber Days for an extended period of time and I probably will not give them back.
