Artworks from Bula’bula Art Centre in Ramingining, central Arnhem Land, 4,400 kms away, will be on display alongside paintings by significant Tiwi Island artists, from the Munupi Art Centre on Melville Island.

Their art is famous for bold colour choice, decisive brush strokes and a long legacy of internationally renowned artists.
NINUKU ARTS
Over the course of the last fifteen years, Pitjantjatjara and Ngaanyatjarra artists working at Ninuku Studio have exhibited painting across the world, becoming known for their powerful colour palettes as well as a broad diversity of styles and mediums in which they tell traditional stories of country and everyday life in community.

CAN: PLACE NAMES LANGUAGE EXHIBITION
This colourful exhibition features iconography and language important to Walyalup and surrounds created during Place Names Walyalup project, by Community Arts Netwrok.
Through the decoding and sharing process, Noongar community created 35 artworks featuring iconography important to the Walyalup area.
CAN has worked to honour the work of the community by creating posters that share their artwork and act as a fantastic educational resource that can be used to promote Noongar culture, heritage and creativity.
From these posters we have developed a screen exhibition which will help celebrate Noongar Language during NAIDOC week.
Screenarts acknowledges the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of this country and its waters and that we operate on Noongar country. We pay our respects to Noongar elders past, present, and emerging. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
