Weaving traditional stories with Quandamooka artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins at the Museum of Brisbane
Episode 35
Saturday, 6 June, 2026
Acclaimed Quandamooka artist Delvene Cockatoo-Collins has brought a beautiful insight into an ancient story from her people to the Museum of Brisbane.The artist-in-residence from Minjerribah/Stradbroke Island continues to evolve her arts practice, and this time has reimagined the Museum of Brisbane’s creative space into an interactive and immersive realm exploring the ancestral story of Warrajamba the Mermaid.In doing so she has created a hub of tranquility in the bustling CBD of Brisbane, bringing audiences to slow down and connect with Country and culture.She’s inviting all of us to join her on her quest to find Warrajamba - a central figure in her art, as she continues the ongoing search to find the ending of the mermaid's story.And as Delvene explains to us on this episode of Streets of Your Town, this significant story of her people was passed down to her from her mother, grandmother, and generations before them.For more shownotes and links go to my Streets of Your Town magazine for this episode at https://soyt.substack.com/p/weaving-traditional-stories-delvene-cockatoo-collins
