18 June 2009Bill Gregory
» View YALMAKANAY - LIYAWADAY - GURRUNDUL - Three Yolgnu Women exhibition
YALMAKANAY MARAWILI/MARIKA and GURRUNDUL MARAWILI/MARIKA are sisters of the great Djambawa Marawili. LIYAWADAY is the third wife of Djambawa Marawili and daughter to Dhukal Wirrpanda and Galuma Maymuru. These three extraordinary women artists are from from the Yirrkala region NT. There is a history of contact between the Yolgnu people of Yirrkala and both New Guinea and Indonesia.
To commemorate the occasion, Annandale Galleries will be presenting work by these two artists in association with Buku-Larrnggay Mulka arts in Yirrkala. It is hoped that the opportunity to compare and contrast the art from New Guinea and Yirrkala will produce some interesting and stimulating results for the viewer.
For further press and information, please contact Annandale Galleries.
