Growing Up Nyima: Between Two Worlds Screening + Q&A with Nyima Tucker

You may know her as the First Nations content creator from TikTok and Instagram, asking, “Where’s your Mob from?” This Reconciliation Week, we are thrilled to be welcoming Nyima Tucker to Kalgoorlie-Boulder for a special screening of the documentary, Growing Up Nyima: Between Two Worlds.

In this coming-of-age documentary, Perth-based photographer and filmmaker Harry Cunningham follows Nyima Tucker, a young woman of Ngarluma, Banjima, and Yamatji heritage, as she moves between the worlds of city and country. Born in the Pilbara and raised in Karratha before relocating to Perth at sixteen, Nyima’s journey captures the tension between modern life and ancestral connection. Across the 1,500 km that separate these landscapes, she grapples with questions of identity, belonging, and the meaning of home. In November 2025, after years away, Nyima returns to her roots for the first time as an adult, confronting the landscapes and memories that shaped her. Growing Up Nyima is a moving exploration of culture, family, and the ever‑calling of home.

From 5pm, local artist Brent Johnston will team up with Act Local for a collaborative community chalk artwork, alongside glitter face painting and magical bubble fun with the fairies!
