Karungkarni Arts

Formed in 2011, Karungkarni Art and Culture Centre is the cultural heart of Kalkarindji, a community located 480 kilometres southwest of Katherine in the Northern Territory. Our Art Centre is owned and governed by the Aboriginal artists of Kalkaringi and Daguragu. Our vision is to keep Gurindji art, language and culture strong so as to pass on knowledge from old to young; to maintain and revitalise language; and to share our art, our culture and our story with the wider world.

The founding artists took part in the Wave Hill Walk-Off in 1966, when Vincent Lingiari led our people from Wave Hill Cattle Station, igniting Aboriginal land rights issues nationwide. Our Art Centre continues the legacy of those courageous and visionary men and women, providing economic and cultural benefits for the artists, families and community. Our artists’ work is a distinctive and genuine expression of traditional stories of the Gurindji people.
