This exhibition at Laundry Gallery in Darwin showcases art works from a range of artists working at Jilamara Arts Wulirankuwu Country, Tiwi Islands. Gallery audiences with be able to enjoy a selection of contemporary works in locally sourced and hand produced earth pigments on stringybark, canvas and carved ironwood. Work by young emerging leaders such as Walter Brooks, who featured in last year’s Melbourne Art Fair and the RIGG Design Prize at the NGV, sits with a collection of amazing bark paintings by Milikapiti’s senior Traditional Owner Mary Elizabeth Moreen, whose work was commissioned for the new Cyclone Tracey exhibit at the Museum and Art Gallery of the NT. Neil Black will also present a small install of his amazing Japarra and Japalinga (Moon and Stars) barks ahead of a solo presentation with Laundry later this year. As a whole the exhibition celebrates contemporary Tiwi art practice based on jilamara (ochre body paint designs), ceremonial culture, clan totems and yoyi (dance), as well as a range of narratives from ancient creation stories to some more recent such as the bombing of Darwin.
