Located in Far North Queensland, the Girringun Aboriginal Art Centre represents artists from nine Traditional Owner groups – the Nywaigi, Gugu Badhun, Warrgamay, Warungnu, Bandjin, Girramay, Gulnay, Jirrbal and Djiru people. This exhibition brings together the work of 19 of these artists who transform traditional stories and culture into contemporary, visual images and designs using diverse media including painting, carving, ceramics, photographs and film; as well as textiles such as jawun – a basket weaving style involving two horn-like pointed corners, unique to the region.
