Grab a little GIIYONG SWAG

From time to time we will drop a little merchandise here for you to purchase. All funds raised go directly towards the presentation of Giiyong Festival and the development of First Nations artists and cultural activities in the South East Arts region. These are exclusive items that will not be available at the Festival to purchase.

About the artwork: Our logo, a new one in 2022, is by Aboriginal artist Joe Stewart, Yuin and Gamilaroi man. The humpback whale or in south coast language as spoken by the Elders, the Jaanda (pronounced Jarn-da) is a significant, majestic animal affiliated with the local whaling history in Eden which originated with the Yuin people. The circle symbol in this artwork has a dual meaning, one of a waterhole and two, a meeting place, both hold significance for Aboriginal people gathering. The colours used have been with us since 2018 and represent the sea and the mountains, as well as the cliffs around Eden, NSW - chosen with guidance from Yuin artist Natalie Bateman.
