Colin Jakamarra Gibson was born in the bush near Lake Mackay. He was taken early on to Mt Doreen Station and later to Yuendumu. He lived at Areyonga where he met his wife Jennifer Nappaljarri Lewis. Together they moved to Mutitjulu and worked with the Uluru/Kata Tjuta Rangers for six years before settling down at Nyirripi.

Colin paints his grandfathers country, a site named Wanaritjarra, north of Kiwirrkurra community. He tells the story of Winiki, a small bird that travels from Wanaritjarra to Lake Mackay then onto Mt Doreen.

Julie Nangala Robertson - Mina Mina

Showing 24 August - 14 September at Outstation Gallery

‘I learnt to be an artist by watching my mother Dorothy Napangardi paint. I grew up sitting next to her, watching how she built up the dots and made her paintings.
“When I paint, I think of my mother and the stories she told me. I remember her voice and the joy with which she spoke about Mina Mina and being on country, hunting and dancing. When I am painting, I think of my mother. In the quiet moments, I reflect on the ways our lives are similar. It makes me happy and proud to be recreating the steps of the women at Mina Mina and honouring my mother!’ - Julie Nangala Robertson.

Just purchased a number of art works from this gallery in a market in Canberra. The art is amazing. Worth every cent and impressive as hell.

Awesome art gallery.

Loved the art here. They have workshops for the community that produce a lot of the art. We bought some dog art. The money goes towards caring for the town dogs.

Large variety of beautiful artworks by local artists for sale in situ, through galleries and online. Volunteering is a rich experience and a deep dive into art life in Yuendumu.

Volunteered here for 1 week and had a wonderful time meeting/helping the community artists who came in for paint supplies and/or to paint, and getting to know the other volunteers and staff. Everyone was so welcoming, and it was a very humbling experience spending time at the art centre and Yuendumu.

I spent a lot of time looking at all the art while helping organise, the paintings are so detailed and most come with the description of the dreaming story behind the painting.

Would highly recommend checking this out if you're driving through the area, or if you're in the market to buy Aboriginal art from somewhere that does give the money back to artists (I saw it happening each afternoon 😉). Also FYI if you hope to see artists on your visit, they only come in on Tues, Wed, Thurs.
