Born and raised in the Northern Territory, Dannielle Darcy discovered her passion for
photography amidst the vast landscapes and vibrant culture of the NT’s outback. Inspired
by the raw beauty of her surroundings, she immersed herself in the art world, honing her
skills to encapsulate the essence of life in the bush.
Focusing on lifestyle photography, Darcy found fulfillment in capturing moments within the
lives of cowboys and country living, striving to convey their rugged charm and strong spirit
through her lens. Wonder through the Laneway space for Dannielle’s inaugural gallery
exhibition as she captures the enduring allure of the northern lifestyle and the profound
capacity of photography as it immortalises these timeless narratives.

Godinymayin Yijard Rivers Arts and
Culture Centre was established in 2012 as
the flagship cultural facility for the
Katherine Region, and recently marked
our 10th anniversary as the region’s
gathering place. Our founders were a
visionary group of local artists, elders, civic
leaders, business owners, pastoralists,
educators, and government partners who
wanted to make a special place for the
community. And they did.
Over the past decade, Godinymayin has
become a community hub that now
presents theatre, music, cabaret,
exhibitions, lectures, comedy, cinema, and
civic events—and is also home to
workshops, conferences, corporate
functions, and hired activities of every
kind.
Our facilities comprise a welcoming lobby,
the Lambert Gallery for visual arts
programming, the K Space Gallery, the
Laneway Gallery, a cafe and retail shop,
and a large multi-function performing arts
venue and meeting space.
This year an expanded Godinymayin will
begin to appear. Thanks to a Northern
Territory Government Arts Trail
investment, we are developing expanded
indoor cultural facilities and a brand new
outdoor amphitheatre and covered deck
cafe area for the region's residents and
visitors to enjoy.
Our non-profit organisation is governed
by a board of 12 community leaders—
including representatives from the
Jawoyn, Wardaman and Dagoman people.
We are managed throughout the year by
a small team of dedicated arts
professionals who are passionate about
the the community, cultural identity, and
creative opportunities and celebrations.
We work hard to perpetuate and grow our
founding vision, and ensuring a special
place in Katherine where creativity,
culture, and heritage will always come
together and thrive. We at Godinymayin
are also grateful for the ongoing
partnership and exchanges with the
region’s arts centres, and to our principal
partners the Northern Territory
Government and Katherine Town Council.
In everything, we do, our organisation
acknowledges the Traditional Owners of
the land and region we inhabit—the
Jawoyn, Wardaman and Dagoman people
—and their Elders past, present, and
emerging.
Special Thanks to Godinymayin team for
their dedication and hard work: Caitlin
Backhouse, Jessy Moss, Janet Schultz,
Roxy Collins, Talisha Ellis, Nathan Lennard,
Jules Renner and Brianna Lennard.
With your help and participation, our new
performance venue will bring great
cultural events and dry season
programming—and make a more dynamic
Katherine Region.
