Djalkiri Keeping Place

The Djalkiri Keeping Place is a community collection of historic artworks, objects and photos that have been collected in Milingimbi since the early 20th century. This Keeping Place is where we house repatriated images of works that are held in collecting institutions around the world to share with our community. We are located on the grounds of the Milingimbi Art and Culture, a community-owned Art Centre that is governed by an all-Yolŋu board of artists and elders.

With a heavy heart Milingimbi Arts and Culture is saying goodbye to our manager Rosita Holmes who along with partner Chris Durkin and art centre dog Sparkles have looked after us for many years. Together we have made strong djalkiri (foundations) and rom (law) for our art centre. You helped build us up tall and humble with quiet hands. We will miss you Rosie.

A great couple of days with @milingimbiartandculture Djalkiri Keeping Place.

Peter Djoma and Max Moon are looking at works and discussing repatriation of the Yolŋu-owned MECA collection. Peter’s bäpa (father) Tony Yuwati, who was a Gupapuyŋu Birrkili leader and artist, has several works in the collection.

Our artists have had a great time discussing the community collection and reconnecting with the works of their forebearers.

The Djalkiri Keeping Place is working towards returning digital copies of cultural material that is currently lying asleep in museums and galleries far away from Arnhem Land.

This work is generously funded by the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation.
