The Evolution of Aṉangu Music

Presented by: Iwiṟi Aboriginal Corporation

Iwiṟi’s mission is to enhance the wellbeing of Aṉangu living in Adelaide away from their traditional homelands. Iwiṟi works towards achieving better outcomes for Aṉangu individuals and families who often face considerable disadvantage. We achieve this through programs that nurture connections to key aspects of Aṉangu identity: Ngura (country/home), Tjukurpa (philosophy/Lore), Walytja (kinship), and Kurunpa (spirit).

Members engage in cultural practices, speak language, share stories, and maintain strong kinship ties through various programs offered. These initiatives promote pride in identity, cultural continuity, and a sense of belonging—key protective factors in improving social and emotional wellbeing.
