Overview

Unique Wandjina figures and the many birds of the community of Mowanjum in the Far North Kimberley feature in our December exhibition. Wandjinas are said to have created the

regions first human beings and all other living things. Responsible for law, culture and the weather, Wandjinas are most active as cloud spirits during the monsoon period, bringing rain  to the entire Kimberley region.

Along with these evocative spirit figures,  Mowanjum's artists delight in drawing a rich variety of indigenous bird life. With perceptive whimsy their small drawings and prints bring to life  the emu, sacred owl, azure kingfisher, rainbow bee-eater, cockatiel, dollarbird, ground cuckoo shrike, grey butcherbird, black cockatoo and many more.

 EXHIBITION DATES: December 5-21
