The Board of the Yothu Yindi Foundation are delighted to announce the dates for the 2013 Garma Festival. Garma will be hosted by the Yothu Yindi Foundation over a four day period, from Friday 9 August to Monday 12 August 2013.
The recently upgraded Garma grounds and our new Garratjambal Auditorium is expected to alleviate previous operational challenges to the site come August. Our event will be held in the usual location at Gulkula, 40 kilometres outside the township of Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory.<p>
The 2013 programme will consist of 2 forums that link together in the evening ceremony (bunggul) and celebration of song (manikay), art (minytji) and Yolngu dance.<p>
The Key Forum, which deals with major contemporary issues of the Aboriginal world, will run from Friday morning to Saturday afternoon, its theme: A Bi-Partisan Project: Partnerships, Reconciliation & Future Prosperity.<p>
This theme will cover practical examples of co-operation, change and reform in remote Aboriginal Australia, Aboriginal groups and leaders will speak to the challenges, successes and failures of their endeavours to improve the lives of their people.<p>
