Betty Campbell
48 x 48 in
Betty is a senior cultural leader in Mimili Community. She knows a lot of storylines and the corresponding inma (song & dance). A lot of the inma is to be known by initiated women only, others can be celebrated by all. Betty loves to dance and teach the kids these stories that hold important lessons about the land and our relationship to it.
In her artwork, Betty paints Women's Story. This is a story that cannot be spoken about. The lines and markings on the canvas are the markings used as body painting in traditional song and dance. When inma is performed, there is separate songs, dances and paintings for men and women. Whilst the women dance, the men sit, sing and watch, and the other way around.
