Yauar Warai Wandi – Sing, Dance, Gather
Lyndon Davis
Yauar Warai Wandi - Sing, Dance, Gather celebrates the living relationships between flora, fauna and Country. This vibrant gathering honours First Nations strength, spirit and storytelling, bringing community together through both contemporary and traditional creative expression.
The event pays tribute to Gubbi Gubbi knowledge and its deep connections to neighbouring Jinibara, Quandamooka and Butchulla Country, sharing stories of land, waters, seasonal change and the beings – plant, animal and ancestral – who shape them.
Through ceremony, music and performance, Yauar Warai Wandi offers a powerful expression of connection to Country, inviting audiences to listen, learn and gather in a shared moment of cultural celebration.
