Gumbaynggirr art
Gumbaynggirr art reflects the culture, stories, and land of the Gumbaynggirr people of Australia’s Mid North Coast. It incorporates traditional symbols, patterns, and techniques such as painting, weaving, and rock art, often depicting Dreamtime stories—the sacred narratives explaining the world's origin. Contemporary Gumbaynggirr artists blend these ancient motifs with modern styles, preserving their cultural heritage while engaging with new artistic expressions. This art form serves as a vital connection to identity, spiritual beliefs, and ancestral history, highlighting the vibrant ongoing practice and cultural resilience of the Gumbaynggirr community.
