Sharing Art – Sharing Culture
As well as learning about Aboriginal ochre paints, Indigenous art history and painting techniques, Binna will tell you stories about traditional bush foods, construction materials and medicines. If they are in season when you visit he will show you useful plants including Black Palm (Duwar), Mat Rash (Jilngan) and Soap Tree (Karrandal) that he has growing at Janbal Gallery.
You can also learn the stories and meanings behind some of Binna’s paintings, including his signature Yiki People and share precious Kuku Yalanji Dreamtime stories about the animals, environment and language of the Indigenous rainforest people from Mossman and the Daintree in Tropical Far North Queensland Australia.
