Japingka Aboriginal Art

This special exhibition by Warlukurlangu Artists shows on one of their major Jukurrpa narratives: Fire Country Dreaming. Fire Country Dreaming is a Jukurrpa ancestral story that falls under the custodial role of Jampijinpa and Jangala men and Nampijinpa and Nangala women. Fire Country Dreaming is about the Blue-tongued Lizard ancestor called Lungkarda.

He sets fire to the country as punishment for his sons' killing of a sacred kangaroo. Paintings often refer to major sites associated with the story, including the men’s cave, Kirrkirrmanu where the sacred kangaroo was killed and Marnimarnu waterhole.
