A Walk in the Bush

2021–2022

A Walk in the Bush is a videogame based on the artworks of Ms N Yunupiŋu, and inspired by the land and sea of North-East Arnhem Land.

Children are introduced to the six seasons of the Country as they walk in the bush, spot hidden animals, collect bush food, and listen to stories. A rich learning and visual experience, the game concludes under the stars.

Created in collaboration with the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) and the Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Art Centre, the videogame was presented as part of The Gecko and the Mermaid exhibition in the Children’s Gallery at NGV from 17 December 2021 – 25 April 2022.
