About the exhibition
Yalangbara: Art of the Djang'kawu is the story of the Djang'kawu, ancestral beings from Burralku who came to Yalangbara, giving birth to the Rirratjingu clan. It is also the story of the Marika family – direct descendants of the Djang'kawu and custodians of the region.Find out more about the exhibition.
