Movements & Sounds - Yidinji: Visual artist and Didgeridoo player

SOAS Radio

Yidinji, who is named after his tribal group near Cairns in Australia, is a visual artist and didgeridoo player. We talked about his style of art, the importance of his – uniquely made – digeridoo, and his important work with kids and wider communities in the Canberra region, through his art gallery: Burrunju Aboriginal Art Gallery. From caring for Country, to busking on the Cairns streets to organising workshops: Yidinji does it all. Do check out the website to see his art!
