Drawing inspiration from their natural lush environment and Tiwi creation stories, Munupi Arts & Crafts Association presented works by artist Leon Russell Black, “I only paint with natural ochres: red, yellow and white on black background…..in my paintings I can tell everything about my life in Pirlangimpi, paint all these things in the Tiwi way, in my way, my own way.”
Munupi Arts & Crafts Association is located along Melville Islands north-western coastline at Pirlangimpi (Garden Point). The Centre gives local artists an opportunity to proudly celebrate Tiwi culture through traditional and contemporary mediums.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the place now called Victoria, and all First Peoples living and working on this land. We recognise and celebrate the cultural heritage, creative contributions, and stories of the First Peoples of Victoria. We pay respect to Elders of today, emerging Elders of tomorrow and Elders of the past.
