The Gecko and the Mermaid: Djerrkŋu Yunupiŋu and her sister. Geckos, turtles, lizards and mermaids! This summer’s exhibition introduces two significant contemporary Yolŋu artists from North-East Arnhem Land to our youngest of visitors. Award-winning artist Ms N Yunupiŋu and her sister Eunice Djerrkŋu Yunupiŋu share their stories, culture and language through displays of art and hands-on activities developed especially for the exhibition.

Colourful animations of Ms N Yunupiŋu’s artworks teach children how to count in Yolŋu Matha, the language of Yolŋu people, and a multimedia game gives children insights into the abundance of bush foods and cultural connections to Country. More info here.
