The Warlpiri people honour their ancestors and maintain their connection to the cosmos through the re-enactment of Jukurrpa (the Dreaming), including painting, singing, dancing, and ritual actions. From May 1981 to June 1982, ethnochoreologist Megan Morais worked with the Warlpiri community in Willowra, documenting dances and traditional movement patterns, particularly within yawulyu – the women’s ceremony. This book, co-authored with musicologist Myfany Turpin, preserves the knowledge shared by Warlpiri women, with proceeds supporting their participation in Women’s Law and Culture Meetings to teach and learn women's ceremonies.

Aboriginal design is of a distinctly cultural nature, based in the Dreaming and in ancient practices grounded in Country. It is visible in the aerodynamic boomerang, the ingenious design of fish traps and the precise layouts of community settlements that strengthen social cohesion. Alison Page and Paul Memmott show how these design principles of sophisticated function, sustainability and storytelling, refined over many millennia, are now being applied to contemporary practices. Design: Building on Country issues a challenge for a new Australian design ethos, one that truly responds to the essence of Country and its people.
