Join us this fall at Asia Society Museum for “Maḏayin: Eight Decades of Aboriginal Australian Bark Painting from Yirrkala.” This exhibition was conceived, developed, and curated by leaders of the Yolŋu people inhabiting northeastern Australia, placing Indigenous voices at the forefront.
For millennia, Yolŋu have painted their sacred clan designs on their bodies and ceremonial objects. These designs are not merely decorative; they are the patterns of the ancestral land itself. Yolŋu describe them as “maḏayin”—a term that encompasses both the sacred and the beautiful.
