Ngalipa nyangu jaru: Pirrjirdi ka ngalpa mardani (Our Language: Keeping us Strong)

September 13, 2019 10:30 am - March 20, 2020 12:00 am

Asia and the Pacific | Australia | Canberra | The Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS)

Cultural events

The United Nations General Assembly declared 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages to raise awareness of the crucial role languages play in the daily lives of people not only to communicate and educate, but also as a repository for identity, cultural history, traditions and memory.

This exhibition highlights these significant roles through stories of language maintenance and revival of Ngunnawal of the Canberra region (ACT and SNSW), Meriam of Mer Island in the Torres Strait (Qld), Warlpiri in Yuendumu (NT), and Pilbara communities working with the Wangka Maya Pilbara Aboriginal Language Centre in Port Hedland (WA).

Indigenous languages matter for social, economic and political development, peaceful coexistence and reconciliation in our societies. Yet many of them are in danger of disappearing. It is for this reason that the United Nations declared 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages in order to encourage urgent action to preserve, revitalize and promote them.
