23.01.2022 Rarru and Ganalmirriwuy have woven mindirr (conical baskets) with their Märi (grandmother) clan design. This design and its story belong to the Gamaaga and G...orryindi clans who are owners of the northern side of Milingimbi and adjacent islands to the east. In this story the Bouk (a small beetle) and apakarra (water goanna) decided to paint each other. Bouk painted a beautiful spotted design on the back of apakarra but apakarra painted Bouk black with just two red dots. Bouk looked at himself was not happy and then he ran and urinated in the water, turning it from fresh water to salt water. But the Wei (kangaroo) was watching and listening to their argument. Wei ran and harvested paper bark, and then collected some fresh water, hiding it near a tree. Wei saved the drinking water for everyone. The miny'tji (pattern) on this mindirr (conical basket) represents that which was painted on apakarra by Bouk. Mindirr with this miny'tji are known as Bouk and are worn during Gamaaga bugul (ceremony).

10.01.2022 Ágnes Herczeg, Lace Artwork "My name is Ágnes Herczeg. I was born in Hungary and I still live here in a small town next to the river Danube. I started working w...ith lace works in 2013. I mainly use natural threads of plant origin like linen, hemp, cotton, jute, raphia etc. While preparing a lace work, I usually make use of threads of different origin and thickness and I also apply several techniques. I mainly use needle lace technique, which I frequently combine with pillow lace and braiding work. The frame of the pictures is made of small branches, bark, coconut shell or any other material of my liking. This 'frame' constitutes a compositional part of the picture. I lay high emphasis on planning as I have to provide not solely visual content for the picture but also elaborate its structural elements and the order of work phases as well; which may sometimes be as complicated as solving a riddle." www.agnesherczeg.com https://www.instagram.com/agnesherczeg_lace/

04.01.2022 Want to understand why clinicians choose to work remote with Miwatj? Just ask John Maher. After more than 20 years working across East Arnhem Land in Indigenous... mental health, John joined us as Manager of Mental Health in 2010. He was inspired by the groundbreaking work of our CEO, Eddie Mulholland in Aboriginal health. He reflects: I came to Miwatj because I saw it as the ‘true form’ of an Aboriginal health service. Only when Aboriginal people are in control of their health service will we truly improve health outcomes. #MiwatjCareers #AboriginalHealth #healthservices See more

01.01.2022 Margaret Rarru with her yothu bathi (baby basket). 'Yothu bathi' is a functional artwork that also carries the metaphor and symbolism of the artists inherite...d clan responsibilities. The striped geometric design of this piece is informed by Rarru's Liyagawumirr clan ceremonial body paint designs. Rarru and her sisters began using these designs in their weaving and painting, when their brother, revered artist Mickey Durrng Garrawurra, passed authority to Rarru and her sisters to take over custodianship of the Liyagawumirr ceremonial designs. Henry Skerritt writes: There is a refined elegance to these designs: at their simplest they consist of nothing more than a series of austere horizontal bands of yellow, red and white. To the Liyagawumirr, however, they contain all the mysteries of their ancestral homelands. According to Durrng, ‘These designs are the power of the land. The sun, the water, creation, for everything.’ Rich in ‘inside’ meanings, the full ‘story’ contained within these designs was traditionally known only to initiated Liyagawumirr men. Before his death, however, Durrng made the seemingly unorthodox decision to pass this knowledge and authority to his sister Ruth Nalmakarra (b.1954) and her family. What followed was a flowering of tradition, as Nalmakarra and her sisters used this broadened authority to instigate a cultural revival that united their community around these ancient designs.
