About these prints

The Mowanjum Community is about 15kms outside the West Australian town of Derby on the Gibb River road. They are a mixture of three old tribal groups that finally settled in 1978 (Mowanjum means settled at last).

The Mowanjum Community are spiritually strong in their art, culture, law, dance and knowledge. Every year, a festival is held by the community, which is open to the public; it was here that I took the images that were to become the “Mowanjum Dancers”.

It was the first time that I had seen Aborigines doing traditional dance and I was moved by the way the “old fellas” were teaching the young ones and the way the young ones, although shy, were really putting everything into the dance.

I wanted to try and capture that energy and the spirit of the dance that came from their hearts.

It took nearly 12 months to get permission to use these images and the community didn’t want thousands of copies going world wide, so it was agreed upon that a set of the 4 prints would be limited to 100 only.

One set of framed prints has been given to the community to hang in their new arts centre.
