FRD has completed Stage 1 (content curation, exhibition design and multimedia production) of Nyinkka Nyunyu Art and Culture Centre. The plans for NNACC include a new exhibition space, a truth-telling exhibition in Warumungu voice, a museum and exhibition space, a new cafe and art gallery retail space, flexible spaces for meetings and events, an outdoor sitting area, a new outside loop path, and a landscaped design featuring native plantings.
Warumungu people have walked here in the footsteps of their ancestors since The Dreaming (Wirnkarra). Their story is written in the landscape and in time. Spiritual beings forged tracks through present day Tennant Creek, forming relationships with other Wirnkarra as well as humans. They are part of this land, in the sacred places still here today. At the heart of the exhibition is a film playing on a state-of-the-art 14metre curved LED screen. This multimedia experience will capture imaginations, immerse visitors in Warumungu language, and surround them with the story of this place, the culture and the deep, enduring connection to Manu (Country).
Stage 2 of the project (construction and installation) to commence in 2024.
