Platform Arts is excited to welcome Bula’Bula Arts to Wadawurrung Country this coming November to December.
Barrku wanga (going to a faraway place) presents new works by Yolngu artists living in East Arnhem Land. The incredible works of ten Bula’bula artists will be travelling down from Ramingining, bringing dynamic painting and weaving works that tell the stories of cultural lore learned through song and dance. This storytelling is reinterpreted into paintings and objects that have traditional ritual and ceremonial significance.
Exhibiting artists:
Dorothy Djampalil, Shannon Ashley, Peter Gambung, Evonne Gayuwrri, Joy Burruna, Evonne Rraraypum, Selena Munguluma, Joy Borruwa, Mary Dhapalany, Julie Djulibing Malibirr, Janice Djupuduwuy, Jenny Malibirr, Evonne Munuyngu, Margaret Djarrbalabal, Linda Dalparri, Cecily Mopbarrmbrr, Lisa Lalaywarra, Joy Gadawarr
“We are going to a faraway place to share with you artworks of deep ritual and spiritual significance to Yolngu (people). Barrku wanga (going to a faraway place) will contain meaningful artworks about sophisticated and complex social structures such as ceremonies, songs, language, creation beings, family and the Yolngu identity within, as well as the relationships between all things such as animals, plants, birds, trees, fish and water.”
