Below the Wind, Sea Nomads of Indonesia is a film that opens our eyes to the Indonesian sea gypsies’ struggle to continue their traditional fishing and customs in Australian waters.

Their interaction with Yolngu people is highlighted in the exhibition Yirrkala Drawings: Works on Paper, Barks, Sculptures. Join us to view the film and listen to historian Professor Jane Lydon, Wesfarmers Chair of Australian History and archaeologist Emeritus Professor Sandra Bowdler of the School of Social and Cultural Studies and School of Music, as they discuss their own research in this context.
