Kimberley Song Muster

Strengthening First Languages in the Kimberley through Song

The Kimberley Song Muster builds on Tura’s Sound FX program, extending the work and deepening long-term engagement while opening new pathways for collaboration across the region.

As the project evolves, activity will extend beyond the Fitzroy Valley, and will involve time on Country, songwriting workshops, and opportunities for recording and performance, shaped in partnership with local communities.

Song plays an important role in strengthening language, culture, and community. Through creating and sharing music, participants build confidence in language use, connect across generations and contribute to the ongoing transmission of cultural knowledge.

Ongoing Engagements

At the core of the Kimberley Song Muster are a series of creative engagements across the Kimberley, bringing together songwriters, language educators, musicians and community members. This creates space for collaborative songwriting, recording, and cultural exchange. 

Night Space, Fitzroy Crossing

Tura worked in partnership with Marra Worra Worra Aboriginal Corporation through its Night Space program in Fitzroy Crossing for one week in April 2026. This involved delivering evening sessions for young people aged 10–17, creating space for music-making, songwriting and shared creative activity.

These sessions form part of the program’s broader focus on working with young people to support creative expression and strengthen connection to language, culture and community.
