An invitation to life from the sands and salt waters of Arnhem Land

What can beaches tell us about life and its ongoing possibilities? This mesmerising exhibition from Arnhem Land offers a powerful counterpoint to the images of environmental ruin that now haunt our collective futures.

Because beaches are alive.

They breathe, they yearn, they worry.

They want to hold you close.

Miyarrka Media is an intercultural and intergenerational collective based at the outstation of Yalakun, Northern Territory. Over the past 16 years it has developed an award-winning intermedial arts and research practice with the tagline, “We share life”. Through co-creative attunement, image-making and collage, the collective seeks new expression for Yolŋu knowledges and values, using media to enliven Country and kinship, while radically reimagining anthropology as an art of relationship making.
