Gija Community’s Interactive Panel at Purnululu National Park
In late 2024, Gija Community’s permanent installation of an interactive panel was launched at Purnululu National Park.
The interactive display panel was created by the Gija Community in partnership with SharingStories Foundation. Led by Senior Gija Cultural Custodian, Shirley Drill, the bilingual display panel includes the Jirraginy joo Goorrarndal: Frog and Brolga story, maps of Gija Country and drone footage. The Gija interactive display panel showcases the unique and iconic landscape of the East Kimberley and shares community voices talking about their culture and their enduring connection to Country.
Much of the content was created by students at Purnululu School (Aboriginal Independent Community School) in Frog Hollow and Cultural Custodians from the Warmun Art Centre. The exhibition also encompasses an artistic sculptural impression of Gawarre (the Bungle Bungle Ranges) and an artwork by Senior Custodian, Phyllis Thomas.
This interactive panel is also installed at the WA Museum, ‘Boola Bardip’ and is available as an online experience.
