‘Balnhdhurr – A Lasting Impression’ celebrates twenty years of onsite print production at Yirrkala Print Space in the Baku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre in Northeast Arnhem Land. This exhibition showcases the Yolngu respect for clan and country, with many prints relating to the creation stories and Law as passed on by ancestors, highlighting the importance of kinship and family.
The exhibition takes the viewer on a visual journey, creating a platform for meaningful dialogue between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, a coming together of cultures and time, where audiences have the chance to learn of the Yolngu’s strong tradition in artwork and how their skills, talent and creativity have translated to printmaking.
