89-year-old Gija artist Mabel Juli captures nature, creation stories and history of the Darrajayin country in her traditional paintings.
This Place: Artist Series follows six Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists across Australia who share their connections to country and how it inspires their art and identity.
These award-winning artists work hang in galleries around the world, including the National Gallery of Australia. In each episode they take us far from the bright lights of the art world to the places where their artmaking begins.

The Artist Series is part of the ABC’s Walking Together project.
In 2000, Indigenous and non-Indigenous people walked together across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, one of the largest demonstrations ever in Australia.
20 years on the Walking Together project reflects, listens, shares and builds on our shared national identity, inviting all Australian’s to walk together on the journey to reconciliation.
Thank you to Mabel Juli for sharing your story.
Thank you to the Warmun Arts Centre and Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries, and Springvale Station.
