Sonja Carmichael
Sonja Carmichael is a Ngugi woman of Quandamooka, Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) and Mulgumpin (Moreton Island). She is a renowned fibre artist who lives on Minjerribah and grew up on Quandamooka Country. Her work draws on the many stories connected to Quandamooka weaving, with a particular focus on continuing weaving practices established by past generations. She works with both traditional fibres and reclaimed materials on Country. Guided by Ancestors hands, Elders’ memories, and deep respect for Country, Sonja’s work honours her matriarchal lineage and shares powerful stories of cultural regeneration, resistance, and resilience.
