Abstract
A reflection on the 2018 exhibition Bush Women: 25 Years ON, at the Fremantle Arts Centre, that rehung the Bush Women show from 1994 as a way of commemorating its significance, and the significance of the artists who showed in it. Since the 1994 show Daisy Andrews, Queenie McKenzie, Mary McLean, Paji Honeychild, Tjapartjia Bates and Tjingapa Davies have become significant historical figures in the Western Desert art movement. This essay emphasises the ways in which the success of Bush Women's rehang and original show relied on women workers, including art centre workers, curators and arts administrators. It set out to illuminate that exhibitions are more than their artists and curators, but that 'exhibition making' with remote artists is dependent on an 'intercultural feminism'.
