2023 Past Event
Presented by the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in collaboration with Arnhem Land Progress Aboriginal Corporation (ALPA)
A photographic journey, presented by ALPA, in recognition of the Yolŋu people of East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, and the contribution our people have made in building better futures and stronger communities.
We share with you a small part of our history and the foundations that were set by the people who were here before us and we acknowledge their strength and achievements. The photographic collection has never been publicly displayed and we are delighted to share these photos with you in celebration of ALPA’s 50th anniversary. The images have been carefully selected by Yolŋu community members and leaders from Milingimbi, Galiwin’ku, Gapuwiyak, Ramingining and Minjilang – where ALPA operates today.
From Tue 22 – Thu 24 August hear a series of free talks from Yolŋu community members about the works.
