The Northern Coast of Australia -
culture quest

We travel to The Northern Coast of Australia to Arnhem Land, spending time with the Yolngu tribe - a group of people that some anthropologists date back to well over 30,000 years and who were instrumental in advancing the struggle for land rights for Aboriginals across Australia. They take a modern approach to blending modern art and technology with their millennia-old traditions to help preserve the land they live on, and with it, their culture as well.

About Culture Quest:

Culture Quest is a series that looks at life through the lens of the world's artists, artisans and keepers of culture.

It's through that lens that we not only look at the day-to-day struggles and successes of the individual people we are spending time with, but also look at the larger issues that are affecting the places they call home.

Culture Quest is a chance to see modern life through human expression that can range from ancient and traditional to modern and reactive.

Looking at life through the lens of art, artisanship and traditional culture is a perfect way to hold up the mirror to the wide spectrum of struggles and successes that people around the planet go through each and every day of their lives.
