A women's arts centre in Arnhem Land is sending five women to Paris for an exhibition and series of workshops - but getting passports for everyone proved a challenge.

Art runs in Elizabeth Kala Kala’s family.

The 49-year-old's father was a bark painter, as are her older sisters. A few years ago, they showed her how to draw dillybags, a traditional Aboriginal bag woven from vines and grasses.

That led the Mayali, Kriol and Rembarrnga speaker, who hails from the Bolkjam region of Arnhem Land, to develop her own dillybag designs, which she now designs and screen prints.

“I love my designing,” she told SBS News. “I feel proud of myself because of my dillybags.”
