We Are The Old: Ḻuku Ŋurruŋgitj
Joe Dhamanydji & Matthew ‘Teapot’ Djipurrtjun

Presented by SALON Art Projects, in association with Milingimbi Art & Culture

Working with Milingimbi Art and Culture, the two men have used Djalkiri Keeping Place - Milingimbi's vast collection of historical and cultural works, objects, stories and images - as a foundation for this assertion that the old is the new. The exhibition celebrates this coming together of the old and the new; the process of reclamation, renewal and rebirth that this unprecedented ‘bringing back of memory’ has inspired. Works include ochre paintings on large barks, split logs and carving timber.
