Purnululu - Warmun Artists

Traditional owners of the Purnululu site in the East Kimberley present works that reveal the essence of this extraordinary landscape. Nine artists from Warmun Art Centre use traditional ochre pigments to re-create the unique qualities of this ancient location.

Purnululu National Park, also known as the Bungle Bungles, is a World Heritage site with bee-hive rock formations created 350 million years ago. The 250 metre high sandstone domes have been eroded to show their black and orange bands of colour.

Aboriginal traditional owners maintain a continuous cultural link to this Country through stories, song and art, and this reflects the timeless association of local people to the resources and history of this place.

Exhibiting artists include Patrick Mung Mung, Phyllis Thomas, Sade Carrington, Shirley Bray, Dwayne Jessell, Troy Drill, Roberta Daylight, Shirley Drill and Marietta Bray. The exhibition vis presented in association with Warmun Art Centre and is on display at Japingka Gallery until 12 June 2024.
