Strong Tiwi Women Our Painting, Our Stories

Papuranjuwi Mamirnikuwi Nginingawula Jilamara – Strong Tiwi Women, Our Painting, Our Stories celebrates the work of eight female artists from Munupi Arts and explores themes of country, ceremony and body painting designs.  Munupi Arts and Crafts is located along Melville Islands north-western coastline at Pirlangimpi (Garden Point) and is the most recently formed Art Centre on the Tiwi Islands.   In 1990 the Yikikini Women’s Centre and Pirlangimpi Pottery were incorporated to form the Art Centre, giving local artists the opportunity to proudly celebrate Tiwi culture through both traditional and contemporary mediums.
