Each year in July the Mowanjum Art and Culture Centre hosts the Mowanjum Festival to share the traditional culture and dances of the Ngarinyin, Worrorra and Wunambal peoples of Mowanjum.
The Festival attracts thousands of visitors from across Australia, travelling to witness and take part in one of Australia’s largest cultural celebrations.
We want to teach you about our Junba culture, songs and dances. Junba are our corroborees that tell stories relating to our Ngarinyin, Worrorra and Wunambal cultures.
