The National Museum of Australia's blockbuster exhibition Yiwarra Kuju: the Canning Stock Route, which drew the largest audiences in its history, grew out of FORM's award-winning Canning Stock Route Project. Through art, oral history and new media the project explored the region's extraordinary history from the perspectives of Aboriginal artists who had grown up in the shadow of the route. Yiwarra Kuju involved a cross-cultural team of Aboriginal and non-indigenous filmmakers (Morika Biljabu, KJ Martin and Clint Dixon) and curators (including myself, Carly Davenport and John Carty) and over a hundred Aboriginal artists from art centres across the Western Desert.
