NGARRANGGARNI STORIES
A collection of exceptional works from the artists of the Warmun Art Centre
Opening on the Saturday the 16th of April at 12-2pm

For Aboriginal people there is a common belief that people came from the land on which they live, and that they have occupied that land since the creation era known as the Dreaming. It is believed that during this time, spirit beings roamed across the land performing certain actions that modified or created natural features, made waterholes, springs and rivers, and filled the whole land with a spirituality that remains vitally potent to this day. This concept is recognised by different names in different areas. The Gija people refer to the concept as ‘Ngarranggarni'. (Warmun Art Centre 2008)
