New Art Centre

'Mowanjum will construct a high quality art and tourism centre that will serve the artists of the region. It will provide a genuine meeting point between local people and the art and tourism market place.
Planning for the centre is well advanced. It will provide an icon building that will add substantially to the public infrastructure of the Kimberley region.'

 
         
 
 
         
 

Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony

For the Mowanjum Community, seeing their beloved Wandjina in the Awakening segment of the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony was intensely emotional. Segment director Rhoda Roberts asked Donny Woolagoodja, designer of the Wandjina, how he felt about 3.5 billion people seeing Namarali. Donny replied, 'very happy – and sad. This was his grandfather's spirit, his father's spirit going out to the world – he hoped that the world would look after it' (The Bulletin, September 26, 2000).
