Journey Down - shaped by sound and stories of cars, transport, and Country to hit 12 communities in WA

Warnarral Ngoorrngoorrool is the result of a six-year intercultural collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, performers and musicians who have transformed an old car wreck into a significant cultural object shaped by sound and stories of cars, transport and Country from Gija and Miriwoong communities. Over 3 weeks (August 24 – September 16), Warnarral Ngoorrngoorrool will make its way from Kununurra to Perth through the Kimberley, Pilbara, Gascoyne, Mid-West and finally onto Boola Bardip, the Western Australian Museum’s Perth site.

Tos Mahoney, Artistic Director, Tura New Music said: “It has been a total privilege to have been part of this multi-layered project involving so many people over such a long time - people from very differing backgrounds and perspectives generously sharing and learning. Amazingly powerful things have happened on the way and The Journey Down will be another chapter in the life of Warnarral Ngoorrngoorrool - we look forward to sharing this journey with Australia and beyond.” Credit: Jessica Wyld
