Our award-winning Noongar Lullabies program launched in Midland in April, with First Nations community members from women’s group Maali Deadly Yorgas and men’s group Moorditj Maaman gathering at Midland Junction Arts Centre for Lullabies Swan.

Under the gentle facilitation of artists Noongar singer/songwriter Cyndy Moody, Bibbulman Noongar musician/songwriter Kobi Arthur Morrison and Noongar artist Sharyn Egan, the group was introduced to the elements that lie at the heart of the Lullabies program: language, song, doll making and storytelling.

The group had a go at singing a few songs in Noongar and started thinking about ideas and inspiration for future lullabies. We can’t wait to see what magic the group creates together!

Lullabies Swan is presented in partnership with Indigo Junction, Maali Deadly Yorgas, Moorditj Maaman, City of Swan and Midland Junction Arts Centre.
