Together with the Indigenous communities of the Wanjina Wunggurr comprising the Ngarinyin, Worrorra, and Wunambal people , we look back at the Frobenius Expedition to the Kimberley Region of North-West Australia in 1938-1939. Organized by the former Institute for Cultural Morphology and the Frankfurt Museum of Ethnology (today: the Frobenius Institute and the Weltkulturen Museum), it was the first comprehensive ethnographic research expedition to a region characterized by a vibrant rock art tradition to the present day. The publication to accompany the exhibition of the same name is the result of a joint exploration of the expedition's research history and contemporary interpretations of the collections acquired at the time.
