Event Information
DUMAWUL provides several exciting opportunities each year for Djaara creatives to build livelihoods around our Culture. Both public and private events are scheduled, including exhibitions, markets, and workshops.
DUMAWUL curates and hosts several events throughout the year. If you would like to keep up to date, please keep an eye out on our social or join our mailing list.
MALAMIYA MANG ARTS FESTIVAL
Malamiya Mang Arts Festival is the first of its kind. It is a weekend long event from November 1 – 3 showcasing Djaara art, design, music, and Culture on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
Malamiya means long ago, before this time, and Mang means now in Dja Dja Wurrung language.
For Djaara (Dja Dja Wurrung People), Country is more than just the landscape; it is more than what is visible to the eye – it is a living entity that holds the stories of creation and histories that cannot be erased.
Malamiya Mang Arts Festival draws on the connection of Dja Dja Wurrung Country and People, from the past to the here and now.
