Same Like Yesterday – Virkuthalypila and Other Stories from Our Country

Released 2019

Same Like Yesterday is a story about six senior Adnyamathanha women and two teenage girls travelling through the Flinders Ranges in the footsteps of Virlkuthalypila, the two women from the Yuramuda (Dreamtime). Their country is woven together by an endless thread of stories. They are embedded in the land, the sky, the water, and the mountains. Even the animals hold stories from a long time ago. By following the journey of the two women, students will learn to stay safe and respect sacred sites and to help everyone gain a greater appreciation of Adnyamathanha history and culture.

This work is a collaboration between women and children of the Adnyamathanha community and the Sharing Stories Foundation which works with Indigenous communities to protect, maintain and grow language, stories and cultural heritage through digital technologies and artistic forms for this and future generations.

Touring 2025-2026

Beginning in September 2025, the installation will tour over 12 months to multiple locations across South Australia, New South Wales and the Northern Territory, including Riverside Theatres in Parramatta, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney and Jilamara Arts in the Tiwi Islands.

School groups are invited to attend the exhibition tour.  All participating schools will receive a Teacher Tool Kit, including a FREE unit plan, Adnyamathanha-developed Classroom Protocols, pre- and post-visit activities, and access to the interactive online version of Adnyamathanha Country. All materials are aligned with the Australian Curriculum and available via the SharingStories education platform, Jajoo Warrngara: The Culture Classroom.
