There are only a few days left to experience ‘Marawili’ at Outstation.

This phenomenal world-class exhibition encompasses both bark and reclaimed road signs, twisted and etched into powerful expressions of country.

The gallery thrums with the lightning and fire, tides and forces of the Marawili brothers. Don’t miss it.

This is the final week of ‘Baman’ŋuwuy (From a Long Time Ago) on exhibition at Tactile Arts. It finishes Thursday 20th August.

Joe Dhamanydji and Matthew ‘Teapot’ Djipurrtjun have brought us a powerful show charged with Country.

“Each work, imbued with old knowledge, vibrates with immediacy, almost flickering with movement and life. Of course, what you see here is only the outer layer of deep cultural knowledge these men hold for their respective clan groups.

“These contemporary works are made of Rom, ceremony and songlines, of the past, a long time ago - baman’ŋuwuy. New and old together these works stand firmly in what these two artists believe.” - Hetty Watts, Milingimbi Art and Culture Centre

Today is the last day of Julie and Sabrina Nangala Robertson’s extraordinary show at the Botanic Gardens.

Open until 4pm, seize your chance to visit ‘Nyanyi pına kampa, nyanjara karna yaninjarni (Looking Back, Moving Forward)’ one last time.

This exhibition is about family. Julie and Sabrina are the daughters of Dorothy Napangardi, an artist who redefined what Warlpiri painting could be. And so the exhibition carries weight. Because this painting is remembrance. It is the keeping of a promise - their mother’s wish that her daughters carry her stories forward.
