REBEKAH NYALKBA Lidja Binjidbira

Rebekah Nyalkba’s painting Lidja Binjidbira translates to “listen to women” in the Larrakia language, honouring the strength and wisdom of women in her community. Drawing from her roots in the Larrakia Nation and her upbringing in the Northern Territory, Nyalkba’s work reflects her deep respect for the stories, teachings, and voices of Aboriginal women.

The piece emphasises the importance of listening to and valuing the contributions of women in culture, tradition, and society. Through vibrant colours and dynamic forms, Nyalkba gives voice to the wisdom passed down through generations, celebrating the role of women as nurturers, storytellers, and leaders within her community.

Lidja Binjidbira serves as a powerful reminder of the integral role women play in shaping the future, calling on viewers to honour and respect their voices, both in the present and across time.
