After significant consultation with the clan groups of the Gumbaynggirr nation, artists Alison Page and Nik Lachajczak have created a 12-minute song cycle Daalga Nginundi Wajaarr | Sing Your Country as a digital Welcome to Country.
The film is informed by Yuludarla’s journey from north to south exploring mirlarl, culture and history through song and cinema. The piece is a celebration of language and its revival and is an invitation for all people to learn the story of this place. The score is a reworking of traditional songs by Gumbaynggirr artist Birrugan Dunn-Velasco with the inclusion of post-modern instrumentation and sounds from Country.
The film dives in and out of the past and the present bringing a Gumbaynngirr perspective to sacred places, protocol and people from deep time to now. It explores untold histories of Country; its triumphs and its sorrow and the dialogue Gumbaynggirr people have everyday with her.
