Jarjums Life Museum – Durack State School

Jarjums Life Museum is a museum where you won’t see dinosaurs, butterflies, king’s crowns or queen’s capes. It is a museum that has been made by children – Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jarjums. Intertwining exploration, visual arts, storytelling, photography, soundscapes and culture, Jarjums Life Musuem is a collection of original works documenting the lives of these jarjums – their here and now and what life is like growing up today. The Wangarra team worked with the jarjums of Durack State School to create a beautiful representation of themselves, their families and their community.

I am 6 and I am in year one. I live with my Mum and my Sister and me. My favourite colours are pink, purple, yellow, blue and white. I love going up to my Grandma’s to do some art. This makes me special.  - Daisy-Kaye
