This interactive exhibition features hundreds of objects\, photographs\, artworks and films from the Yarrila Arts and Museum collection. A key highlight of Yaamanga (around here) is the short film\, Daalga Nginundi Wajaarr (Sing Your Country)\, which is informed by Yuludarla’s (Gumbaynggirr Creator) journey from north to south exploring miirlarl (sacred places)\, culture and history through song and cinema. The piece is a celebration of language and its revival and is an invitation for all people to learn the story of this place. It explores untold histories of Country; its triumphs and its sorrow and the dialogue Gumbaynggirr people have every day with her.Daalga Nginundi Wajaarr (Sing Your Country) was created by Alison Page and Nik Lachajczak of ZAKPAGE. The score is a reworking of a medley of traditional songs by Gumbaynggirr artist\, Birrugan Dunn-Velasco\, with the inclusion of post-modern instrumentation and sounds from Country.This artwork is dedicated to the Gumbaynggirr people; it is their ancestral lands upon which we live and work; they who are so generous with their cultural knowledge and lore in the making of this film. \n\n\n\nA still image captured from Daalga Nginundi Wajaarr Sing Your Country\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more about Daalga Nginundi Wajarr Sing your Country URL:https://www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au/events/yaamanga-around-here CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au/content/uploads/2023/03/dsc07522-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20251203T000000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20260701T235959 DTSTAMP:20260430T232945 CREATED:20251203T050000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251209T004736Z UID:4725-1764720000-1782950399@www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au SUMMARY:Self-Guided Tactile Tours DESCRIPTION:Self-Guided Tactile Tours \n \n \n\nEvent\, Exhibition \n \n Have you ever wanted to know what an artwork feels like? \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Event\, Exhibition \n \n Drew Hopper: West of Somewhere East Exhibition Opening \n When\n \n 28 May 20265:30 pm – 7:00 pm \n \n Reserve your spotPlan your visit \n \n \n\nVisit the current exhibitions at YAM and borrow a free Self-Guided Tactile Tour kit from our front desk\, then head to the galleries for a unique experience.     Each kit will enable participants to experience the tactile and sensory qualities of the materials used in selected textile artworks.   Self-Guided Tactile Tour kits are available for the current exhibition ESSSENSSSE. \n\n\n\nThis free program is available for all ages and abilities including families\, individuals\, groups\, and sensory impaired individuals.  \n\n\n\nNo bookings required but reservations can be made for groups if requested via email: yamprograms@chcc.nsw.gov.au   URL:https://www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au/events/self-guided-tactile-tours CATEGORIES:Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au/content/uploads/2025/12/image-16.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20260101T100000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20261231T160000 DTSTAMP:20260430T232945 CREATED:20250723T003816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260211T225118Z UID:5248-1767261600-1798732800@www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au SUMMARY:Wellbeing Workshop Program for organisations\, community groups\, and schools DESCRIPTION:Wellbeing Workshop Program for organisations\, community groups\, and schools \n \n \n\nEvent\, Exhibition \n \n Where art meets wellbeing – A creative path to connection and healing \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n Event\, Exhibition \n \n Drew Hopper: West of Somewhere East Exhibition Opening \n When\n \n 28 May 20265:30 pm – 7:00 pm \n \n Reserve your spotPlan your visit \n \n \n\nJoin us at Yarrila Arts and Museum (YAM) for a powerful and inspiring workshop designed to nurture mental wellbeing through creative expression.
