Nidja Djilba Boorloo<\/b>\u00a0by Justin Martin (2022)
Commissioned by Brookfield Place\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

For several years, the street pianos project has been an annual event that engages local artists to re-skin pianos as an activation for the community to watch and upon its completion, available for all in the community to enjoy and play.<\/p>

This year, we are proud to have partnered with First Nations artist Justin Martin from Djurandi Dreaming,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>as he brings to life his specially designed street piano\u00a0Nidja Djilba Boorloo<\/i>.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>

Justin’s artwork\u00a0<\/span>i<\/i>s a representation of the Perth area as a whole.\u00a0<\/span>Traditionally influenced, Justin’s artwork shows a group of women gathering off the land and using several plant species for medicinal purposes whilst singing in their native tongue in boorloo.\u00a0<\/span>Tapping sticks, large, hollowed logs used as drums and boomerangs were the traditional Whadjak instruments. On the outskirts of the ceremonies we see the spirit of the yonga guiding women throughout Nyungar boodja.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Journey with Justin as he brings\u00a0Nidja Djilba Boorloo<\/i>\u00a0to life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
