The exhibition

Toad Busting presented by VERMIN part of Melbourne Design Week 2020. Lia Tabrah and Perina Drummond travelled to the Torres Strait and Far North Queensland to work with Indigenous park rangers to ethically source cane toad leather for Melbourne designers and artists to create custom works for Toad Busting!

This exhibition fights the war on cane toads by transforming these toxic invaders of Top End Australia into bespoke designs.
