Boomalli Gallery
55-59 Flood St, LEICHHARDT NSW Ph: 02 9560 2541 Fax: 02 9560
2541
The word Boomalli is taken from
3 Language/tribal groupings Gamailerio, Bundgulung and the Wiradjuri.
Making a mark is not only about art it is about expressing a repressed voice
within the history of Australia, exhibiting and promote Aboriginal art on our
own terms.
It has only been within the last 30 years that Aboriginal art has been taken out
of a sterile ethnographic museum context and recognized as an aestetic and
cultural expression as unique as the landscape that it often depicts.
Boomalli is a resource centre for Aboriginal artists as well as the wider
artistic community and continues to make a mark on art and culture in Australia
today.

Gallery is open Tues - Sat / 10 am to 4 pm and by appointment.

dedicated to the presentation of Aboriginal art from the Central and Western
Desert area of Australia. This encompasses an area from Utopia in the North-East
to Warburton and Patjarr in the South-West but ranging right up to an area near
Broome occupied by the Bidyadanga People. The Bidyadanga People were originally
desert people but were driven off their ancestral lands to the coast which they
now call home and have learned to eat fish.
We are inspired by Aboriginal art. We empathize with Aboriginal people. We love
travelling in Central Australia. We've travelled the white-man routes like the
Gunbarrel Highway, the Canning Stock Route and the Tanami Desert Track. All
these routes are layered on top of much older routes and songlines navigated by
those that came here before Europeans, our indigenous Australians.
