Crown and Country

Crown and Country is our flagship arts project, led by Warlpiri elders Wanta Jampijipna and his father, Jerry Jangala Patrick, from Lajamanu, NT, in the North Tanami desert.

This project includes:

  • Key cultural recordings archived with multiple cultural organisations for access by the community into the future.

  • The Crown and Country album and film.

  • Digital cultural archives website to make this cultural knowledge accessible and online for young people and the community.

  • The Crown and Country book, written by Wanta Jampijinpa, in collaboration with ethnomusicologist Prof Aaron Corn from Melbourne University, to preserve cultural knowledge for future generations.
