Yirrkala, Northern Territory, Australia

This small Arnhem Land community changed Australian law from its own church hall, the 1963 bark petitions presented here, painted testimony backed by written text, were the first Indigenous documents recognized by the Australian Parliament and remain a founding document of the land rights movement. The Buku-Larrnggay Mulka art center still represents the Yolngu artists who continue that tradition today, their bark paintings and prints held in major collections worldwide. Sea eagles and other coastal birdlife are abundant along the surrounding shoreline. A community where art and political history are inseparable.
