Yiwarra Kuju: The Canning Stock Route
Discover the history and culture of the people whose Country surrounds Western Australia’s most famous outback road. Explore the stock route through Aboriginal eyes, voices, art and new media.
This groundbreaking exhibition reveals the triumph of human will and cultural continuity. It tells the story of the Canning Stock Route’s impact on Aboriginal people, and the importance of the Country that surrounds it, through the works of senior and emerging artists and the stories of traditional custodians. It is a story of contact, conflict and survival, of exodus and return, seen through Aboriginal eyes, and interpreted through their voices, art and new media.
