Munupi Arts & Crafts Association

Leon Russell Black, 2024

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.
