The film centres on a workshop, where Utopia women are creating batiks. The artworks depict a range of bush medicine plants, and throughout the film the women talk about the meaning of these plants in their lives. Several scenes show the women on country, collecting and using plants, and talking about them. The women sing awely "traditional women's songs' to express the deeper significance of the plants within their culture.
Out of the PY Media archives, this video displays some of the modern artwork by members of the community, but it also tells the history of designing batiks.
Video about women's art group and the art produced to highlight the importance of the bush tucker within the IPA. Winner of the "Special Video Award' for the 13th Remote Indigenous Media Festival.
