Djarrng, Renewing Stories on Stone

In remote Arnhem Land, Australia, Traditional Owner Kenneth Mangiru returns to Djarrng with Bininj artists after a cyclone erased ancestral rock art. Climate models predict accelerated rock art erosion, raising questions about protecting invaluable cultural heritage. A team from Injalak Arts harness traditional painting techniques, archival photographs and photogrammetry to painstakingly record and renew motifs. They unite old and new to share stories inscribed on stone with future generations.
