This exhibition features eighteen women artists and showcases a powerful collection of art from the Western Arnhem Land that pushes barriers to depict ancient narratives using contemporary mediums.

The designs presented in this exhibition were developed over many years with generations of women during Maningrida community workshops.

‘Jarracharra’, a term in the Burarra language, is the powerful cool wind that blows across Arnhem Land each dry season, signifying the beginning of a period of exchange between clans and an annual ceremonial coming together.

Used as a powerful metaphor this word brings together different Aboriginal cultures and stories from across Arnhem Land.

The exhibition is hosted at Garage Art Space from 27 June to 14 July 2023.

Organised and funded by the Australian High Commission in Cyprus.
