Annual
Kutjuwarraku Culture Festival
The annual Kutjuwarraku Culture Centre, which began in
2002, is a regional celebration of culture held in Wirrimanu within the
grounds of the Culture Centre. The festival brings together the people of
the region to dance, sing and hold workshops to demonstrate their
knowledge and teach the younger generations about their rich cultural
heritage.
Coolamon project
As part of the Warlayirti Glass Workshop Program, the
Culture Centre will work on recording stories and information on the
production and use of coolamons by people from the Kutjungka region. This
information will form the basis of a book on coolamons that will also
incorporate information about the development of the new glass coolamons
at Warlayirti Artists. This
publication will be launched in early 2006 with the launch of the glass
coolamons.
The
commission Warlayirti Artists receives through the sale of
glass
art
is directed to the Culture Centre to support its
activities and the development of the Centre as a viable entity.
