Yinjaa-Barni Art
Yinjaa-Barni means ‘staying together’ in Yindjibarndi language. The collective of artists, who are mostly family members, have been painting in the Dalgety House, a heritage-listed cottage on the main street of Roebourne since the group became incorporated in 2007. Prior to this, they operated from a hall at the back of the Aboriginal Church in Roebourne since 2005.
Over the last few years the Yinjaa-Barni artists have enjoyed growing success. Many members have been recognised in some of the State's leading awards and galleries. Our artists have exhibited in Italy, Sydney, Darwin and Perth at prestigious galleries.
Apart from their remarkable talent, one of the qualities that characterises these painters from the Pilbara is the strong individuality of each artist's style. While they all represent their country and the sites and elements that have such personal meaning to them, they translate their stories on their canvases in strikingly distinctive ways.
Their achievements in painting have provided the artists with a great sense of self-worth and pride, as well as providing them with a viable means of economic independence. Art is an important means of expressing and relaying their love for their country, their culture and the flora of the region.
