Galuku 2008
The Galuku Gallery on show at the Botanic Gardens Darwin, Darwin Festival 15–31 August 2008. Open evenings 6–10 pm.
In Galuku 2008, artists from the renowned Buku Larrnggay Mulka Art Centre in Yirrkala present a new body of etchings and Larrakitj (Ceremonial poles). The new works pay homage to their ancestors and the historic visit to Yirrkala by anthropologists Ronald and Catherine Berndt in 1947.
The Galuku (Palm Tree) Gallery is one of the highlights of the Darwin Festival as the Botanic Gardens are transformed into a magical night-time gallery with no walls.
