Pauline is very actively involved with the local Mt Theo Youth Program helping to take care of the kids. She has also worked with Warlpiri Media doing broadcasting for local language radio programs. ⠀
⠀
Pauline is married and has two young children, Bradley and Ishmail who take up a lot of her time. ⠀
⠀
Pauline paints her mother’s Jukurrpa stories, Dreamings which relate directly to her land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it.⠀
⠀
She loves spending time visiting the country around Yuendumu and telling her kids the stories of this land. ⠀

When she is painting she sometimes paints by herself and sometimes with her family. When Pauline is not working, looking after children or painting she likes to go hunting for bush tucker.

MARGARET NANGALA GALLAGHER 💜 // Margaret was born in 1967 in Alice Springs Hospital, the closest hospital to Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community 290 km from Alice Springs in the NT of Australia. ⠀

⠀
Margaret paints with her mother and learnt to paint watching her mother and other people in the community painting. ⠀

She particularly enjoys painting with her mother as it is an opportunity for her and her mother to share their Jukurrpa stories, Dreamings passed down to her by her father and mother and their parents before them for millennia. ⠀
⠀
Margaret paints her Yankirri Jakurrpa (Emu Dreaming) from her father’s side and this Jukurrpa story belongs to Jangala/Jampijinpa men and Nangala/Nampijinpa women. ⠀

RIVER DREAMING 🌀// Wulpayi Jukurrpa by Pamela N

RIVER DREAMING 🌀// Wulpayi Jukurrpa by Pamela Napurrurla Walker 🤲

This Wulpayi Jukurrpa (Kakutu river Dreaming) comes from country north of Yuendumu near Willowra community.

While the Kakutu river only flows from time to time after good rains, the beds and banks of the river are an important resource for the people of the area.

Many ‘mulju’ (soakages) are found along the sandy river bed and water is sourced from these by digging down to the water-table.

In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements.

In paintings of this Jukurrpa the flowing river can be represented by strait or sinuous lines and several important ‘mulju’, including Wakatinyi, Yarruku and Wurlpatiparnta are often shown.
