About

The Mowanjum Aboriginal Art and Culture Centre is a creative hub for the Woddorda (Worrorra), Ngarinyin and Wunumbal people, who make up the Mowanjum community outside of Derby, Western Australia.

These three language groups are united by their belief in the Wandjina as a sacred spiritual force and the creators of the land. They are the custodians of Wandjina law and iconography.

The centre incorporates artists studios, a gallery, a community-based museum and hosts the annual Mowanjum Festival, one of Australia's longest running indigenous cultural festivals.
