‘Guwarguwarmirri’ – Colours of the Rainbow

Expanding the palette beyond the template of four primary Yolŋu colours – black, red, yellow and white – allows the story to come alive. The prismatic shimmer of the snake scales or the stagnant billabong mirrors the colours of the rainbow. In this case Wititj – the Rainbow Serpent. In technicolour!
An old song in a fresh key.
