Art and Culture Tuesday 15 July 2025 - Yolŋu power: the Art of Yirrkala
2025-07-15 09:30 - 10:30 | Art Gallery of NSW, Art Gallery Road, The Domain, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia
Join us at The Art Gallery of New South Wales, North Building for a private tour.
For almost 100 years artists at Yirrkala have shared art as a means of cultural diplomacy – as a respectful assertion of power in its diverse forms, from influence to authority, sovereignty, strength, energy and pride.
This exhibition showcases the extraordinary artists of Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, and the power of their art from the 1940s to the present. Our guides will introduce us to the significant moments in Yirrkala’s history when artists have consciously altered their practice, developed new styles or embraced new mediums. In covering multiple generations, the exhibition highlights familial connections and cultural continuation. It also contextualises the work of individual artists within the broader school of artists from Yirrkala and surrounding Miwatj Country, whose contribution to both Australian and, increasingly, international art, is profound.
