Yondee Shane Hansen - Derbarl Yerrigan (expired event)

Welcome to the first exhibition in Australia of paintings by Yondee Shane Hansen. Yondee is a Noongar Artist who paintings aspects of water management and songlines along Derbarl Yerrigan, Swan River in Western Australia

Japingka is excited to show recent paintings by Noongar artist Yondee Shane Hansen that focus on traditional songlines and walking paths along the waterways associated with Derbarl Yerrigan, the Swan River on the coastal plains around Perth. Yondee`s paintings show the interconnected places of the Swan River and the large coastal lakes at Joondalup and urban Perth. The rivers of Perth are woven into the Dreaming stories of the local Noongar Aboriginal people. Yondee Shane Hansen says that the river links the freshwater people of the inland with the saltwater people of the coast.
