About Ingarlgalandij
Preserving the past, inspiring the future
Welcome to Ingarlgalandij — where tradition, art, and community unite. Located 220km north of Broome on the Dampier Peninsula, our hub celebrates and champions Bardi Jawi art, language, and culture, supporting and resourcing local artists, language-keepers, and knowledge-holders. It’s a space to connect, create, and share — keeping our culture strong for the future.
Our Logo (designed by Ashley Hunter)
Ingarlgalandij represents the ring around the moon.
It signals the time for Bardi Jawi people to gather for ceremony. The wet season is here, and the storms are coming.
The ring is our people coming together.
The moon is our arts and culture hub — a place where we gather as one.
As a not-for-profit organisation, we are community-owned, governed, and led by Bardi Jawi people. Our hub is a unique and dynamic space offering:
● an Art Gallery
● Creative Studios & Projects
● a Cultural Program
● and Cultural Experiences
We are committed to cultural continuity and to creating meaningful social, cultural, and economic opportunities for our saltwater people. All artwork sales directly support Bardi Jawi artists, our broader community programs and the sustainability of our Hub.
We believe in the power of art, language, and culture to bridge past and present — and to foster deeper understanding, respect, and appreciation for Bardi Jawi ways of life.
We welcome everyone with a genuine interest in Indigenous art and culture to visit, connect with us, share in our stories, and support our community.
