Philip Watkins (Desart, CEO), Cecilia Alfonso (Warlukurlangu Artists, manager) and Sabrina Napangardi Granites (painter and member of Warlurlangu Artists) at the Revisions exhibition at Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum, in Cologne. Over the past eight years, painters from Warlukurlangu Artists in collaboration with British artist Patrick Waterhouse, have reworked maps, flags, photographs, comic illustrations and other archival material. This has resulted in artistic positions that offer new access to previously mostly obscured perspectives. The largest exhibition of these works to date, some of which also relate to the collection holdings at the Rautenstrauch-Joest-Museum, will open tonight at 7pm.

“The conversation started with putting everything back in line. Showing what a map means to both sides of this story. Correcting the presumed authority to name another person`s country. The journey began with the premise of undoing the colonial narratives of this land and the notion that historical maps were incomplete documents…. For these maps continued the lie of terra nullius and the idea that Australia was an empty barren land that belonged to nobody."
- Otto Jungarrayi Sims

Saraeva Napaljarri Marshall paints her grandmother Dorothy Napangardi`s country of Mina Mina. Mina Mina is an extremely important ceremonial site for Napangardi and Napanangka women that is located approximately 600kms west of Yuendumu, just east of Lake Mackay and the WA border. The area has a ‘marluri’ (salt lake or claypan) that is usually dry, without water. There are also a number of ‘mulju’ (soakages), sandhills, and a large stand of ‘kurrkara’ (desert oaks [Allocasuarina decaisneana]). The Mina Mina Jukurrpa is an important source of Warlpiri ritual knowledge and social organization, particularly relating to the different roles performed by men and women. All these are prestretched works 30 x 30 and are available to purchase on our website.

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.

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.
