Yinjaa-Barni Art is a collective of Aboriginal artists who predominantly belong to the Yindjibarndi language group and whose ancestral homelands surround the Fortescue River and Millstream Tablelands.
Based in Roebourne, a small town in Western Australia’s Pilbara region of the north-west of the state, the Yinjaa-Barni artists create deeply personal works of collective memory, rendering the wildflowers, river systems and landforms of their country onto canvas. It is a community group consisting of predominantly family members and has become a very busy and lively centre. Within the first few months of the formation of the group around ten of the artists entered works in the 2006 Cossack Art Award. They received five Highly Commendable awards and a Category Winner by group member Jill Tucker.
