Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala is a must-see major exhibition showcasing the extraordinary artists of Yirrkala in north-east Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, and the power of their art from the 1940s to the present.

The exhibition considers 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.

The exhibition is presented in partnership with the Indigenous art centre in Yirrkala, Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka.

Enjoy 2-for-1 tickets on Wednesday nights during Art After Hours between 5pm and 10pm.
