Warlukurlangu means ‘belonging to fire’ in the local language, Warlpiri, and is named for a fire dreaming site west of Yuendumu. Each artist depicts a Dreamtime (jukurrpa) associated with themselves and their family throughout their painting career, and so painting remains an important way of passing on Dreamtime stories and protecting language and tradition. The artists of Warlukurlangu are incredibly prolific, and this exhibition will showcase some of the most recent colourful and detailed artworks from the resident artists.
