23.01.2022 Helen was a senior textile artist with Bbbarra Designs since 2008. Helen had a key role mentoring young and emerging artists, and she is mother to leading Bbbarra artists including Jennifer Wurrkidj and Deborah Wurrkidj (pictured here proudly with her mothers design), both of whom are part of the Kip&Co collaboration. Helen was also an accomplished artist in other mediums, notably basket weavings and prints on paper. Her artwork has toured the United States and been exhibi...ted throughout Australia, and her textile art is in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia. Helens ancestor spirits were Djaddi (green monkey frog), Yawkyawk (female water spirits). Her artwork is Ngarduk Kunred, 2017. My design is of the kunbad (rocks) at the kunwardde (stone country). I call this country mother.These rocks live at the bottom of the kunronj (fresh water)- some are old, some are cracked and some are soft.The kunronj runs over the stones, and when we drink this water it tastes sweet and fresh. This design depicts the stone country near Yikarrakkal, which is Helens mothers traditional country. It is country filled with important sacred sites and living spirits under the river bed hiding among the rocks. Ngarduk Kunred, 2017 Helen Lanyinwanga / Licensed by Copyright Agency.

23.01.2022 We took a trip to the Northern Territory to spend time in the community last summer (just weeks before the global pandemic would suspend travel indefinitely). Flying into Maningrida from Darwin in a tiny plane takes your breath away an incredible green snaking river-network, jutting out into the aqua Arafura Sea. We were so excited by the opportunity to meet these amazing artists in person, and to deepen our understanding of the stories behind the artw...ork. We were invited on country and given permission by the traditional land owners to shoot campaign images alongside the artists. We drove in a troupe painted with Deborahs Manwak design, travelling out from Maningrida out on the deep red earth road, through amazing bush to the beach where the ocean lapped at black rocks. We saw wild buffalo, and Jennifer caught a goanna with such speed (particularly given the 90 per cent humidity) it was all we could talk about for the rest of the trip. By all reports, it was delicious. See more

20.01.2022 Good morning to this pint-sized pooch ready and waiting for his morning walks @sosie_warren

19.01.2022 This is Elizabeth Wullunmingu. Born in Darwin, she started sewing and designing at Bbbarra in 2010 and is a key member of the sewing team. Elizabeth artistic talent comes from her mother who was an artist for the iconic Desert Designs label. Elizabeth designed and sewed outfits for the 2018 Commonwealth Games! Her ancestor spirits are Rrugurrgurda (Crab) and Jin-Merdawa (Saltwater Mermaid).... Her artwork is Barnkabarra, 2010. This design tells the story of Elizabeths homeland, east of Maningrida, at the mouth of Blyth river. Many families go to that country to collect crabs, hunting in mangrove holes with long sticks, or spearing the crabs directly on the shore. Mud crabs hide in the muddy bottoms of estuaries and mangrove forests in areas surrounding Maningrida.After a king tide, a large cyclical tide which bring the crabs out from the mangroves, it is the perfect time to find crabs. Rrugurrgurda (mud crabs) is pronounced Ahh-rewg-gurd-gurda in the Burarra language. Rrugurrgurda are good baladji (bush food in Burarra) and can be caught all year round.They are put on the fire to cook and they are ready when they turn a bright orange colour.

17.01.2022 Rainbow styling in new kids apparel!!

17.01.2022 We spent time at the Womens Centre, where the artists showed us how they hand print their textiles; one woman on either side of the large bench, passing the wiper from back and forth to press the paint through the screen and then carefully lifting and placing the screen in its next spot before the process is repeated, over and over again. The colours they chose were bold and playful and filled us with so much joy! Women after our own hearts. We were invited to have a go ourselves, and quickly gained a new found appreciation for the precision, technique and strength that goes into creating every metre of fabric. Its hard work! The Womens Centre sells the fabric, along with a few items of clothing, via their online shop @babbarradesigns , to generate income for the artists. Its well worth checking out!

16.01.2022 Who run the world? Kids!

16.01.2022 This is Raylene, a talented textile artist, specialising in linocut technique. She has been working with Bbbarra Designs since 2012. Raylene was mentored by her late mother, Nancy Gununwanga, a senior textile artist at Bbbarra Designs and a founding member of Bbbarra Womens Centre. Raylene is well known for her designs depicting ancestral stories and ceremonial objects, in particular lorrkkon (hollow log for burial ceremony), kunmadj (dillybag) and mandjabu (con...ical fishtrap). Her ancestor sprits are Yawkyawk (female water spirit), and Djaddi (green monkey frog). Her artwork is Wubbunj, 2016. Wubbunj is our traditional canoe. This design is the old history story of how people came to live in this place we call Maningrida. Two old people were staying on the other side of the saltwater, in Narlarrambarr area. The old people slept in a paper bark shelter and hunted on the water using their canoe. One day these old people saw a new boat in their waters, which belonged to the Makassans (Indonesians). Those two old men saw the big Makassan boat coming in, and decided to paddle their canoe from Narlarrambarr to the other side (modern day Maningrida). We were scared of the Makassans, they gave us tobacco and tea, but they took many of our women. When those two old people tasted that water at Maningrida from the Djomi spring, it was sweet freshwater and they decided to stay here. Wubbunj, 2016 Raylene Bonson / Licensed by Copyright Agency.

16.01.2022 This is Deborah, a Kuninjku artist from the Kurulk clan whose country lies around the outstation of Mumeka in central Arnhem Land. She is an accomplished artist working across mediums including painting, sculpture, weaving and textile design. Deborah is world renowned for her bark painting, lorrkkon (hollow logs), and fibre baskets. She has exhibited widely since 2001, throughout Australia as well as in Europe and the United States. She is represented in most of Aus...tralias state gallery collections. Her ancestor spirits are Dadbe (King brown snake), Djimarr (Black crow), and Buluwana (woman spirit). The title of her artwork is Marebu, 2012. It depicts Marebu, woven pandanus mats, which Deborah often weaves for the Maningrida Arts and Culture Centre, the sister Art Centre to Bbbarra Womens Centre in Maningrida. When creating mats, artists commonly use a mix of naturally dyed and undyed fibre to create a striking variation of coloured bands. Some artists also incorporate different techniques of looping and plaiting to produce various patterns and textured finishes. Marebu, 2012 Deborah Wurrkidj / Licensed by Copyright Agency.

12.01.2022 This is Margot Gurawiliwili one of the seven incredible women featured in our Kip&Co x Bbbarra collaboration. In addition to being a strong textile artist, Margot is also a talented weaver, skillfully weaving pandanus into colourful baskets and dillybags. She uses a number of weaving techniques, including coiling and twinning, and makes a range of functional and ceremonial objects, including baskets, dilly bags, string bags and mats. Margot is renowned fo...r her bold designs, the consistency of her weave and her sophisticated sense of form. She is confident sourcing a diverse range of pigments from natural plant materials, such as leaves, roots and berries. Margots artwork is Djenj dja komrdawh, 2006. My country is called Mankorlod. It is near the rock country. My dreaming is komrdawh (long neck turtle), the one I painted in my design. I like to eat komrdawh, it tastes really nice. We catch them in dry and wet season near Mankorlod. This is my first ever design, and I only have one design. I painted it with brush at Bbbarra Womens Centre, and I feel proud when people print my design. The vines depicted in this design grow naturally on the floodplains in Arnhem Land and are used by women to weave and create fibre sculpture.The long-necked turtle and freshwater fish depicted are popular bush foods.

06.01.2022 This is Janet, a talented linocut and screen print designer. She regards textile design as an opportunity to work with colour and a new method to express her djang (ancestral creator stories). As well as her artistic work with Bbbarra Womens Centre, she works for the Maningrida Night Patrol, a community safety service. Janets ancestor spirits are Mandjurlukkun (Wild black berries), and Dadbe (King brown snake).... The title of her artwork is Kunkurra, 2015. The work depicts the kunkurra, the spiralling wind associated with several sites in the Kardbam clan. The artwork has two stories. First, it shows the kinds of mini-cyclones common during the wet season in Arnhem Land. Secondly, Kunkurra relates specifically to a site called Bilwoyinj, near Mankorlod, on Janets husbands clan estate. At this site, two of the most important Kuninjku creation beings, a father and son known as nakorrkko, are believed to have hunted and eaten a goanna. They left some of the goanna fat behind at the site, which turned into the rock that still stands there today. Kunkurra, 2015 Janet Marawarr / Licensed by Copyright Agency.

04.01.2022 The three of us each had one of our kids with us when we travelled to Maningrida, Arnhem Land last summer. Giving them the opportunity to visit Maningrida, which requires a permit to access, and to share this once in a lifetime experience with them was one of the best things about the collaboration. The artists loved meeting Alexs 12 week old, Pearl, and were generous baby sitters, watching the photoshoot with Pearl from the shade of a big tree. Hayleys 12 year old daughte...r Chloe set up a mini nail salon and sat alongside the women in the Centre sharing tips on sewing scrunchies and bags. Zig, Kates eight year old, had done a football boot drive back home and was thrilled to share these with the local families. As is often the way, the kids embraced the opportunity without over-thinking or worrying, and that allowed all of us all to connect over the universality of motherhood and family.
