Come Together to Learn and Share
The remote desert community of Irrunytju (Wingellina) almost doubled its population to accommodate over 100 remote media workers, artists and industry affiliates from across Australia for the invigorating 19th Remote Indigenous Media Festival last week. The week-long event co-hosted by IRCA and Ngaanyatjarra Media (NG Media) affirms the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander media industry as a powerful and connected voice for generations to come.

Delegates travelled the long red desert highway to be welcomed to Country, culture, big night skies and Tjukurrpa by Irrunytju traditional owners and community leaders. Each morning, delegates were engaged in forums and meetings discussing sector accomplishments, developments and strategies. The week included the full spectrum of desert weather, from heat and dust storms to rain and cold, but this didn’t deter the dedicated media workers as they acquired new skills in state-of-the-art media workshops, including radio podcast, sound skills, digital photography and design, stop-motion animation and aerial cinematography with drones.
There was a vibrant Art Market featuring paintings by local artists from the Minyma Kutjara Arts Project, as well as artworks and jewellery made from found materials created in an arts workshop held throughout the week. The Festival wrapped up with a spirited concert featuring Irrunytju Band, Blackstone Band, Desert Rain and Red Sands Beat Band. The Remote Indigenous Media Awards throughout the week highlighted the rich and colourful media fabric that stretches from the desert to the sea.
