In 1990 the Yikikini Women’s Centre and Pirlangimpi Pottery were incorporated under the name Munupi Arts and Crafts Association giving local artists an opportunity to proudly celebrate Tiwi culture through both traditional and contemporary mediums.\nEddie Puruntatameri was the first president of Munupi Arts and Crafts. Eddie worked at Tiwi Pottery at Nguiu for many years until he moved to Pirlangimpi in late 1983 and set up a pottery workshop in the community.\n\nThe first major works at Munupi were several large mural panels. The painted panels were placed around the community at Pirlangimpi Airport, the Council Office, Pirlangimpi Pottery and at the Women’s Centre. Artists who contributed to this project were Thelca Puruntatameri, Reppie Orsto, Fatima Kantilla, Donna Burak, Francesca Puruntatameri and Therese Ann Tipiloura.\n\nThe first Munupi Arts and Crafts exhibition ‘Munupi Dreaming’ was held in October 1990 at Shades of Ochre, Darwin. The exhibition included painted furniture, paintings, limited edition prints and terracotta pots. Munupi artists have continued to exhibit both within Australia and internationally. Many artists from Munupi Arts and Craft have participated in workshops at the art centre and abroad.\n\nDrawing inspiration from their natural lush environment and Tiwi creation stories, Munupi artists employ ochres, gouache and acrylic paint. Munupi Arts and Crafts are also highly regarded for the diversity of their range of works including painting, pottery, carving, weaving, screen prints, etchings, linocut prints, lithographs and screen printed textiles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Declan Apuatimi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48813964525811,"sku":"MUN-23-287","price":2805.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0611\/2513\/2531\/files\/c84fd4cfe2dd12668ecf0039188df1ae.png?v=1775659691","url":"https:\/\/laundrygallery.com.au\/products\/munupi-spc-arts-spc-and-spc-crafts-col1-8810-col2-23-287-col3-declan-spc-apuatimi-col4-kumarrakini-spc-bopen-dry-spc-season-bclose","provider":"Laundry Gallery Pty Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
