Guyugwa

'Guyugwa' - meaning fire in Larrakia, honours the 2024 NAIDOC theme.

Emerging artists will participate in 3 days worth of workshops that will result in a showcase on the Sunday night that everyone in the community is welcome to attend. It'll be a great chance to reflect on NAIDOC week, see emerging artists and celebrate raw local talent.

The workshops are free for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people aged 12-25 with registration highly recommended. The final showcase will be a ticketed event with concession/unwaged (student) and community pricing available.

These workshops are delivered to celebrate the 2024 NAIDOC Week, a program collaboration between Mayala-Bol and Browns Mart, supported by the City of Darwin.
