Abstract

This is the catalogue produced for the Christmas Birrimbirr (Christmas Spirit) exhibition at the Chan Contemporary Art Gallery, Darwin, 7-18 December 2011.

The essay explores the poetics of connection that link the wolma thunder cloud of the impending wet season to the life-giving rains of Christmas, and how this becomes a time for Yolngu to remember lost loved ones.
