The different groups of Kunwinjku people (one of the Eastern dialect groups call themselves Kuninjku) each have Yawkyawk mythologies, which relate to specific locations in clan estates.

Some features of a respective country are equated with body parts of Yawkyawk. For example a bend in a river or creek may be said to be 'the tail of the Yawkyawk, a billabong may be 'the head of the Yawkyawk and so on.

Today the Kuninjku believe that ngalkunburriyaymi are alive and well and living in freshwater sites in a number of sacred locations. The Kuninjku also believe that 'clever' man (magicians with mystical powers called na-kordang) may take these spirits as wives. The father of Mandarrk, a well known artist who resided in the Central Arnhem area, is said to have had such a spirit as a wife. Unfortunately, it is said, she failed one day to return from being sent to fetch water from the river, and returned to her kin. The ngalkunburriyaymi also have husbands and children of their own kind.\u003cbr\u003eTheir sites are usually shared with the rainbow serpent ngalyod. Some have ritual importance, for example in some depictions, the yawkyawk spirit holds ceremonial string, just like the lengths of string women hold between both hands today during certain public ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are at least three major ngalkunburriyaymi sacred sites that are well known in the area south and south-west of Maningrida. One site Bolerrhlerr is on the Mann River at a place near Yikarrakkal Outstation where there are rugged rocky banks and clefts beneath stone overhangs in the water.

Sometimes compared to the European notion of mermaids, they exist as spiritual beings living in freshwater streams, particularly those in the stone country. These water spirits are perhaps the most enigmatic, and are usually described and depicted with the tails of fish. Thus the Kuninjku people sometime call them ngalberddjenj which literally means 'the woman who has a tail like a fish'. They have long hair which is associated with trailing blooms of green algae (man-bak in Kuninjku) found in freshwater streams and rock pools. At times they leave their aquatic homes to walk about on dry land, particularly at night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAboriginal people believe that at one time all animals were humans. During the time of the creation of landscapes and plants and animals, these ancestor heroes in human form changed into their animal forms via a series of various significant events now recorded as oral mythologies. Today the Kuninjku believe that ngalkunburriyaymi are alive and well and living in freshwater sites in a number of sacred locations. The Kuninjku also believe that 'clever' man (magicians with mystical powers called na-kordang) may take these spirits as wives. The father of Mandarrk, a well known artist who resided in the Central Arnhem area, is said to have had such a spirit as a wife. Unfortunately, it is said, she failed one day to return from being sent to fetch water from the river, and returned to her kin. The ngalkunburriyaymi also have husbands and children of their own kind.\u003cbr\u003eTheir sites are usually shared with the rainbow serpent ngalyod. Some have ritual importance, for example in some depictions, the yawkyawk spirit holds ceremonial string, just like the lengths of string women hold between both hands today during certain public ceremonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are at least three major ngalkunburriyaymi sacred sites that are well known in the area south and south-west of Maningrida. One site Bolerrhlerr is on the Mann River at a place near Yikarrakkal Outstation where there are rugged rocky banks and clefts beneath stone overhangs in the water. Another very similar site further west in the Kumadderr River district is surrounded by a number of small but very old rock art sites and has become known in English as 'Dreaming Lady'. A third site is a major yawkyawk dreaming place which is so significant that the traditional Dangkorlo clan custodians have set up an outstation near the site.

The Kuninjku also believe that 'clever' man (magicians with mystical powers called na-kordang) may take these spirits as wives.

The identity of this group is very much related to their yawkyawk dreaming for which they have spiritual\u003cbr\u003eand practical responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLouwa Bardaluna\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSkin Name: Bangardijan \/ Language: Kuninjku \/ Clan: Dangkorlo \/ Moiety:Yirridjdja \/ Country: Kakodbebuldi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManingrida Arts and Culture x Craft\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuly 2 – August 29 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Manngarre\/Mannga\u003c\/em\u003e brings together fifteen dynamic artists in a landmark collaboration between the Maningrida Arts and Culture and Craft Victoria.

The different groups of Kunwinjku people (one of the Eastern dialect groups call themselves Kuninjku) each have Yawkyawk mythologies, which relate to specific locations in clan estates. These mythologies are represented in bark paintings and sculptures of Yawkyawk beings. There are also a few examples of rock art images of these beings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe female water spirits Yawkyawk or Ngalkunburriyaymi are perhaps the most enigmatic of mythological themes. Sometimes compared to the European notion of mermaids, they exist as spiritual beings living in freshwater streams and rock pools, particularly those in the stone country. The spirit Yawkyawk is usually described and depicted with the tail of a fish. Thus the Kuninjku people sometimes call them ngalberddjenj which literally means 'the young woman who has a tail like a fish'. They have long hair, which is associated with trailing blooms of green algae (called man-bak in Kuninjku). At times they leave their\\aquatic homes to walk about on dry land, particularly at night. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAboriginal people believe that in the beginning most animals were humans. During the time of the creation of landscapes and plants and animals, these ancestral heroes in human form transmutated into their animal forms via a series of various significant events now recorded as oral mythologies. The creation ancestor Yawkyawk travelled the country in human form and changed into the form of Ngalkunburriyaymi as a result of various ancestral adventures. Today the Kuninjku believe that Ngalkunburriyaymi are alive and well and living in freshwater sites in a number of sacred locations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome features of a respective country are equated with body parts of Yawkyawk. For example a bend in a river or creek may be said to be 'the tail of the Yawkyawk, a billabong may be 'the head of the Yawkyawk and so on. Thus different groups can be linked together by means of a shared mythology featured in the landscape, which crosscuts clan and language group boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLouwa Bardaluna\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSkin Name: Bangardijan \/ Language: Kuninjku \/ Clan: Dangkorlo \/ Moiety:Yirridjdja \/ Country: Kakodbebuldi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManingrida Arts and Culture x Craft\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuly 2 – August 29 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Manngarre\/Mannga\u003c\/em\u003e brings together fifteen dynamic artists in a landmark collaboration between the Maningrida Arts and Culture and Craft Victoria.

In 1995, she participated in a landmarks touring fibre exhibition Maningirda : the language of weaving which featured two fish traps by Burarra male artist Raymond Walabirr (now deceased). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exhibition aimed at repositioning fibre production into the fine art category. It succeeded at some levels but it failed in changing the overall perception of fibre art by the general public or commercial galleries. For example, no one offered to do a commercial fibre show dedicated to the production of mats or baskets after this major exhibition. In 2002, Jin-gubarrangunyja made her first fish trap, learning this technique from her husband George Ganyjibala, as traditionally men were making fish traps. She now uses fish trap forms as the basis for sculptural works of art. Jin-gubarrangunyja innovates with forms and colours, using diverse weaving techniques to make sculptures that have their origin in the traditional fish trap techniques. The utilitarian purpose of the fish trap is no longer the main focus of her production. She re-explores traditional techniques to create contemporary and innovative works of art and works with diverse fibre such as pandanus (pandanus spiralis ) that she dyes with natural colors, jungle vine (Malaisia scandens ) and grass (cyperus javanicus ).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA year after her first attempt at making a fish trap, in 2003, Jin-gubarrangunyja won the Wandjuk Marika Award at the 20th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA) with a colourful pandanus fish trap. She is nowrecognised as a leading fibre artist and participates regularly in group exhibitions in commercial galleries. Interestingly enough, her fish trap production has generated an interest in her dilly bags that are now exhibited along with her fish trap forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough innovation and working on a bigger scale, Jin-gubarrangunyja has established herself as a successful fibre artist, gaining public recognition for her work and a financial income comparable with artists working in other media. She has also inspired other Maningrida artists to make fish traps. Now, more than 20 artists make fish trap forms on a regular basis, including three men who have switched from painting to fibre production in the last two years as they have realised that they were more succesful fibre artists than painters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManingrida Arts and Culture x Craft\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuly 2 – August 29 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Manngarre\/Mannga\u003c\/em\u003e brings together fifteen dynamic artists in a landmark collaboration between the Maningrida Arts and Culture and Craft Victoria.

She is a Burarra fibre artist, living at Yilan outstation, who has been regularly producing artworks for Maningrida Arts and Culture since the 1980s. She was often making colourful twined pandanus dilly bags, mats, string bags and baby shade covers. In 1995, she participated in a landmarks touring fibre exhibition Maningirda : the language of weaving which featured two fish traps by Burarra male artist Raymond Walabirr (now deceased). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exhibition aimed at repositioning fibre production into the fine art category. It succeeded at some levels but it failed in changing the overall perception of fibre art by the general public or commercial galleries. For example, no one offered to do a commercial fibre show dedicated to the production of mats or baskets after this major exhibition. In 2002, Jin-gubarrangunyja made her first fish trap, learning this technique from her husband George Ganyjibala, as traditionally men were making fish traps. She now uses fish trap forms as the basis for sculptural works of art. Jin-gubarrangunyja innovates with forms and colours, using diverse weaving techniques to make sculptures that have their origin in the traditional fish trap techniques. The utilitarian purpose of the fish trap is no longer the main focus of her production. She re-explores traditional techniques to create contemporary and innovative works of art and works with diverse fibre such as pandanus (pandanus spiralis ) that she dyes with natural colors, jungle vine (Malaisia scandens ) and grass (cyperus javanicus ).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA year after her first attempt at making a fish trap, in 2003, Jin-gubarrangunyja won the Wandjuk Marika Award at the 20th Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award (NATSIAA) with a colourful pandanus fish trap. She is nowrecognised as a leading fibre artist and participates regularly in group exhibitions in commercial galleries. Interestingly enough, her fish trap production has generated an interest in her dilly bags that are now exhibited along with her fish trap forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough innovation and working on a bigger scale, Jin-gubarrangunyja has established herself as a successful fibre artist, gaining public recognition for her work and a financial income comparable with artists working in other media. She has also inspired other Maningrida artists to make fish traps. Now, more than 20 artists make fish trap forms on a regular basis, including three men who have switched from painting to fibre production in the last two years as they have realised that they were more succesful fibre artists than painters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 1.4em;\"\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eManingrida Arts and Culture x Craft\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuly 2 – August 29 2026\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Manngarre\/Mannga\u003c\/em\u003e brings together fifteen dynamic artists in a landmark collaboration between the Maningrida Arts and Culture and Craft Victoria.

Artists confidently push the boundaries of fibre craft and cultural expression, adapting traditional techniques and forms to produce strikingly inventive and aesthetically exquisite artworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly used fibres include the leaves of pandanus (Pandanus spiralis), and palms (Livistonus), mírlírl (burney or jungle vine, Malaisia scandens), and the inner bark of kurrajong and stringybark eucalyptus trees. Weaving is physically hard work, now done only by women. Artists commonly use a mix of naturally dyed and undyed fibre to create a striking variation of coloured bands. They colour the pandanus using natural dyes made from the roots, leaves or flowers of plants within the weaver’s clan estate. Some artists also incorporate different types of looping to produce different patterns and textured finishes. Each type of mat, fibre bag, basket and dilly bag has its own name in the various languages spoken in the Maningrida region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists weave many different kinds of mats. Conical mats were traditionally used to shield babies from mosquitoes. Long flat mats were used for blocking creeks so that fish would be diverted into fish traps.

Weaving is physically hard work, now done only by women. Artists commonly use a mix of naturally dyed and undyed fibre to create a striking variation of coloured bands. They colour the pandanus using natural dyes made from the roots, leaves or flowers of plants within the weaver’s clan estate. Some artists also incorporate different types of looping to produce different patterns and textured finishes. Each type of mat, fibre bag, basket and dilly bag has its own name in the various languages spoken in the Maningrida region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists weave many different kinds of mats.

They colour the pandanus using natural dyes made from the roots, leaves or flowers of plants within the weaver’s clan estate.

They colour the pandanus using natural dyes made from the roots, leaves or flowers of plants within the weaver’s clan estate.

Artists confidently push the boundaries of fibre craft and cultural expression, adapting traditional techniques and forms to produce strikingly inventive and aesthetically exquisite artworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommonly used fibres include the leaves of pandanus (Pandanus spiralis), and palms (Livistonus), mírlírl (burney or jungle vine, Malaisia scandens), and the inner bark of kurrajong and stringybark eucalyptus trees. Weaving is physically hard work, now done only by women. Artists commonly use a mix of naturally dyed and undyed fibre to create a striking variation of coloured bands. They colour the pandanus using natural dyes made from the roots, leaves or flowers of plants within the weaver’s clan estate. Some artists also incorporate different types of looping to produce different patterns and textured finishes. Each type of mat, fibre bag, basket and dilly bag has its own name in the various languages spoken in the Maningrida region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists weave many different kinds of mats. Conical mats were traditionally used to shield babies from mosquitoes. Long flat mats were used for blocking creeks so that fish would be diverted into fish traps. A small triangular mat made of pandanus fibre used to be worn by women during ceremonial gatherings, tied around their back and covering them at the front. Mats are also used for wrapping and rinsing food in water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtists usually use ngarakáya, pandanus spiralis, to weave fragrant, decorative round or oblong mats, as well as the less common triangular and conical shapes. The radial woven patterns of the finest round mats appear to vibrate with colour, sometimes regarded as an aesthetic manifestation of deep cultural meaning, as there is a significant spiritual dimension to pandanus mats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e—\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-fYzRkI bCzEca\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-dQelHR gsfJfa phx-GridRow row phx-GridRow--large\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-bCDidY hSYvYm phx-GridCell phx-GridCell--col3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sc-eGFuAX ciOtkg\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSylvia Marrgawaidj\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSkin Name: Galijan \/ Language: Burarra (Martay) \/ Country: Ji-marda\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGalijan Sylvia Marrgawaidj is a fibre artist, specialising in woven mats and burlupurr (dilly bags).
