One is the 1946 Pilbara Strike, that took hundreds of pastoral workers off the stations, to live collectively in camps that mined, gathered buffel grass and collected pearl shell. They lived independently for decades, battling the state government over their right to sell minerals. A second beginning lies in the Strike Mob\u2019s purchase of Strelley Station in 1971, and the founding of Strelley School and the Strelley Illustrated Literature Production Centre a handful of years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition featured stories told, transcribed, translated and illustrated by the strikers. When they were first published, these stories were read aloud in Nyangumarta to the community \u2014 an Aboriginal literature produced for Aboriginal readers. A final beginning lied in the animations made from these books, bringing to life just some of these hundreds of these books of Nyangumarta art and literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Strelley Mob featured artworks by Nyaparu (William) Gardiner, Solomon Cocky, Sam Fullbrook, Rose Murray, Noel McKenna, Fred Rurla Bradman and others. Stories written and told by Monty Minyjun Hale, Bruce Turruwanti Thomas, Ginger Moogra, Sharon Hale and Barbara Hale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"1803\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/jcg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JCGallery-The-Strelley-Mob-web-20-1800x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1803\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.curtin.edu.au\/jcg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/JCGallery-The-Strelley-Mob-web-1-1800x1080.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1800\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Strelley Mob, 2024, installation view, John Curtin Gallery.
