Patrina Munuŋgurr: Warwuyun Gurra Waŋa'wu (Sorrow For Home)
Presented (in collaboration) by Mulka Project.
In early 2021, for reasons beyond her control, Yolŋu artist Patrina Munuŋgurr was forced into exile from her ancestral homelands. She still has no knowledge of when it will be safe enough for her to return.

- excerpt from the transcript of the recording she made on her last phone call home. It has been translated from her native tongue Dhuwaya into English.
