Yolŋu Power: The Art of Yirrkala, at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, is not just an art exhibition, but a field of ancestral presence.

It's a space of authority and deep listening that shows what art can be when it is inseparable from land, from water, from Law, and from the unbroken chain of Yolŋu knowledge.

It's also the featured Winter exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW, an important acknowledgement that Australian art is worthy of standing alongside the impressionist and modernist masterpieces at other state galleries.
