Jabu Birriny (Land + Sea) exhibition comes to Atherton

‘Mayi Bugaam – Sea,’ Edna Ambrym, Etching on paper

Jabu Birriny, meaning ‘land’ and ‘sea’, celebrates the unique environment of Yarrabah and its ongoing importance to culture and people, located on the shore of Cape Grafton in Far North Queensland. The exhibition brings together stories rich in lineal, past and recent histories through vibrant prints, woven vessels and textured ceramics that embody their land and sea.

Make sure you see the dynamic responses to Country in Jabu Birriny at Tablelands Regional Gallery in Atherton from 29 June until 31 July as the final stopin the multi-year tour. See the Gallery’s website for further information on public programs, including weaving workshops with artist Aunty Philomena.

The Jabu Birriny exhibition was developed by State Library of Queensland in partnership with Yarrabah Arts and Cultural Precinct.

For Schools and Communities

Case Study: Genesis Christian College
Our By Request Facilitator Emma Gardener recently visited Year 11 at Genesis Christian College in Brisbane to introduce their new visual arts unit ‘Art as Code.’

Emma guided students through exercises using ink to explore how visual language, symbol systems and art conventions can express ideas and feelings in images, objects and experiences. We love the expressive outcomes!
