Djarmalak is homage to our late founding and artistic director Balang T E Lewis, whose vision was a culturally safe place where everyone could come together to learn, share, exchange and enjoy.
"Culture as identity, art as medicine," was his consistent message to community and visitors alike.
Djarmalak affirms and carries his legacy, the community is stepping up with his passion and dedication as their inspiration.
Cutting-edge Indigenous performance combined with the dynamics and persistence of traditional practice, Djarmalak is a special invitation from the heart of the community and resonates Balang's belief that "culture is everyone's responsibility".

Mojo Juju, continues to rise.
Collecting a slew of accolades, 15 award nominations (including 3 x ARIA nominations) and taking home a healthy bundle of awards, including the J Award for 'Best Music Video' and the Dreamtime Award for 'Best Female Artist'.
