Jabu Birriny (land + sea): Contemporary stories by Yarrabah artists - Exhibition Opening
Join us for the official opening of Jabu Birriny (land + sea) pronounced Jah-boo Bir-rin-ee. Jabu Birriny celebrates the unique environment of Yarrabah and its ongoing importance to culture and people.
Located on the shore of Cape Grafton in Far North Queensland, Yarrabah is the traditional Country of the Gunggandji people. It is a dynamic Aboriginal community surrounded by tropical native bushland and mountain ranges united by sandy coastlines and coral reefs.
Jabu Birriny shares stories rich in lineal and recent histories through vibrant prints, intricately woven vessels and textured ceramics that embody the land and sea.
Artists: Philomena Yeatman, Michelle Yeatman, Valmai Pollard, Edna Ambrym, Ruben Ambrym, Eric Orcher and Elverina Johnson.
