Girringun represents artists from nine Traditional Owner Groups: the Nywaigi, Gugu Badhan, Warrgamay, Warungnu, Bandjin, Girramay, Gulngay, Jirrbal and Djiru people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional country of these groups covers some 25,000 square kilometres of country in the state’s Far North. Objects from this country are significantly different from those of much of the rest of Australia due to the diversity of resources between land and sea. This has resulted in a vast array of implements being crafted for use. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bagu are based on the traditional fire making implements of the Girringun rainforest Aboriginal people. The artists have created artworks made from clay, timber and string to evoke the spirit of the old people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a living functioning art centre it is not unusual to see artists in the workshop developing new work and honing their craft. The stories and environments of this ancient culture are being transformed daily into visual images and designs by weavers, painters, potters, textile artists, and makers of traditional objects. These artists bring to life the unique cultural story and expression of the distinctive Aboriginal rainforest art traditions and culture of the Girringun region, to share with the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/girringunartcentre.com\/\"\u003eWebsite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/rosiebird.com.au\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/wintera.com.au\/\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/girringunart\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13px;\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/2206\/8795\/files\/Girringun_Art_Centre_-_Logo_480x480.webp?v=1752624092\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/2206\/8795\/files\/VIS_0002_480x480.jpg?v=1752624096\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLogo of Girringun Art Centre.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBagu (The Shape of Time exhibition view at artisan), 2024, Various artists at Girringun Art Centre.
