Wäŋa as Muse brings together five Yolŋu artists from The Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Art Centre; Manini Gumana, Napunda Marawili, Marrnyula Munuŋgurr, Binygurr Wirrpanda and Gutiŋarra Yunupiŋu. This exhibition features the innovative works of a group of artists who have each developed a unique way of depicting the identity of the land which inspires them. Works presented are a living testament to the Yolŋu people’s enduring relationship with their spiritual and physical birthplace and an invitation to see the land not as a passive object, but as a sentient, living, active, sacred force.
