Dragonfly Outreach - Jacky Cheng residency at Yiramalay Studio School July - August, November

In 2025, we delivered a different project format with longstanding partner, Yiramalay Studio School in the Wunaamin Miliwundi Ranges, 80km from Fitzroy Crossing. Broome-based artist Jacky Cheng led a three-part residency following on from her overwhelming success with Yiramalay students on previous TK projects.

The idea was to teach the students artmaking processes with multiple materials, technical variations, and numerous applications, to give students real choice about their processes and finished products. This Year 10-12 cohort printed shirts, serviettes, tablecloths, cards and notebooks, learning that many creative products can originate from a single original work. Yiramalay staff and students enjoyed the finale exhibition night in November, which showcased completed works to the school community.
