Yaluk Langa Community Day at Heide

Heide Museum of Modern Art is located on the traditional lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, who hold an important cultural association with the Birrarung/Yarra River. Yaluk Langa, meaning “river’s edge” in Woi-wurrung language, is a collaborative indigenous garden project developed between traditional owners and the Heide team. Heide is once again hosting a Yaluk Langa Community Day to celebrate this collaboration and the continuing creative culture of the traditional owners.

Beginning in 2018, the Yaluk Langa project has been an important and evolving chapter in the Heide story which provides opportunities for Wurundjeri Woiwurrung people to achieve their responsibilities in caring for Country (known as Bunjil’s Law) and to highlight their living culture.

The Yaluk Langa Community Day is an occasion for the public to visit Heide and experience the progress of the tree scarring and shield projects, and learn from Wurundjeri Elders about the Indigenous history of the land, as well as the role everyone can all play in Caring for Country. The day will include performances by Djirri Djirri dancers, Marn Grook “footy” games with a possum fur ball, and nature-based art-making activities. Bring a picnic and have fun. Entry is free and everyone is welcome.

From 10am.
