Panel Discussion: Rapidly Changing Landscapes
At the 2026 Biennale of Sydney
Join Biennale Artists Natalie Davey (Bunuba / Walmajarri); and Gunybi Ganambarr & Yinimala Gumana (Dhaḻwaŋu clan) for this panel discussion moderated by Fondation Cartier First Nations curatorial fellow, Bruce Johnson McLean (Wierdi people of Wribpid, Central Queensland).
In this panel the artists will discuss their arts practice, the relationship between their art and Country; what it means to work within rapidly changing (and often degrading) environments in the face of climate change, mineral resource extraction and the ecological, geological and meteorological impacts of colonisation; and the old and new strategies of resistance.
Natalie Davey is exhibiting an immersive three-screen video installation 'Nightscapes' at the 25th Biennale of Sydney: Rememory, from 14 March – 14 June 2026.
Building on previous collaborations with Davey, Tura has supported the development of this major new work - continuing its collaborations with artists and communities in the Kimberley including through the Sound FX program.

Meet the Artist
Natalie Davey is a multidisciplinary artist from Fitzroy Crossing in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Of Bunuba, Walmajarri, Scottish and English heritage, she is a custodian of Bunuba Danggu Muway and is deeply connected to her culture and community. Her practice spans photography, soundscapes, painting and multimedia art.
Natalie spends much of her creative time at Mangkaja Arts and was awarded the Multimedia Award at the 2024 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) for her work River Report, which reflects on the 2023 Fitzroy Crossing flood disaster.
As a producer and broadcaster at Wangki Radio 936AM, Natalie works alongside her father to present the award-winning morning language program Danggujarra, furthering her commitment to preserving and sharing her culture.
From a young age, Natalie has been drawn to the camera, using it as a tool to explore the natural world and document her surroundings. Her art helps her process and understand her experiences, combining seasonal observations, language and multimedia storytelling. Through her work, Natalie seeks to foster cultural understanding and bring people together, blending artistic exploration with community healing and connection.
Natalie has worked with Tura since 2017 as both an artist and producer through programs including Sound FX and Two Way Touring.
