The new studio was built onto the existing 1960’s handbuilt cypress pine ex- mission hospital building which had been the art centre since 1975. Since then I have been an interested observer. A nosy neighbor listening to the music coming over the fence. From within an art centre, which is a vehicle for serious lawmen and women to represent their law in natural media as a political and artistic act of resistance to the dominant settler culture, comes a completely different tune. A lilting, gentle, persistent, sweet melody of (mostly) women humbly working together to make beautiful things. It has been the sound of laughter and considerateness. The sound of compassion and empathy and respect and dignity.

This collection is made up of a diverse array of work, a curated mix of art chosen because of the importance of the artist, the technique used, its influence or its presence in a broader project or series. Balnhdhurr – A Lasting Impression includes prints that are historically significant. The Macassan Boat tells the story of Macassan trade with the Yolngu before the arrival of Captain Cook, while The Berndt Etchings series talks about the Berndt Crayon Drawings of Yirrkala, produced by the artists’ forefathers in 1947. Similarly, The String Figures series are a response to another archaeological collection from 1948. Reflecting the dynamic nature of Yolngu art, the exhibition also provides an opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the artists who have worked and created prints that have contributed to the conversation between the Yolngu people of Northeast Arnhem Land and the national and international community.

They live together at Birritjimi (Wallaby Beach) near Yirrkala. Their father was senior artist and cultural leader Mungurrawuy Yunupingu. Barrupu and Nyapanyapa started at the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka art centre Yirrkala as print artists in 1996. They share a lifelong connection as artists with an energetic and daring aesthetic and experimental approach to composition, form and imagery. Through their paintings, the sisters enter an internal world, tapping into intimate structures of their life and shared culture. This involves oscillating between levels of understanding and away from immediate surroundings. In this regard Barrupu and Nyapanyapa transform their cultural heritage, knowledge and experience into a contemporary aesthetic principle.
