From the Northern Territory’s Karungkarni Art and Culture in Kalkarindji comes Yipu Jangkarni, Big Rain, a vivid, expressive depiction of the heavy downpour in March 2023 that affected the people of Kalkarindji, Daguragu, and Pigeonhole.
“Houses were inundated with water, roads and causeways washed away; power lines were knocked over. The Old People said that these were a different type of rain as to what the people had been used to for many years. The countryside has now become transformed,” says Aboriginal Bush Traders.
