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:20250208T000000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Sydney:20250511T235959 DTSTAMP:20260628T063606 CREATED:20250121T010601Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260508T021116Z UID:10000307-1738972800-1747007999@www.yarrilaartsandmuseum.com.au SUMMARY:John Tuckwell: A Survey DESCRIPTION:EXTRA Long Pose Portrait Session \n \n \n\nProgram\, Workshop \n \n \n \n\n\n\n\nJohn Tuckwell\, The birds are out\, 2022\, porcelain.
