After a three-year hiatus due to COVID, Garma Festival has made a return in the Northern Territory, during a historic weekend.
The event is considered the leading Indigenous cultural exchange event and a national hub for major forums with discussion, policy and action formulation.
The festival brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians through youth forums, art gallery, music, film, song, dance and expo exhibitions.
