Madjem Bambandila, by acclaimed Wergaia and Wemba Wemba artist Kelly Koumalatsos, co-authored with Dr. Paola Balla, offers a unique community-based narrative. Featuring diverse voices, including artists and cultural figures, the book adopts a possum cloak format, interweaving conversations, essays, poems, and personal reflections. It celebrates indigenous storytelling, praised by Dr. Shannon Faulkhead as blak storytelling at its deadliest. Koumalatsos’s art, embodying southeastern culture, reflects the enduring sovereignty of Koorie art, as described by Dr. Paola Balla. This volume stands as a warm, culturally rich testament to indigenous heritage and creativity.
