- Artist Statement
- This artist is daughter of Mungarrawuy Yunupiŋu whose two sons Galarrwuy and Mandawuy have pursued the struggle for land rights he spearheaded until his death. The Djulpan story is about seven sisters who went out in their canoe called Djulpan. During the harvest season following the Wet they go hunting and always come back with different types of food: turtles, fish and freshwater snakes, and also bush foods like yams and berries. They can be seen in the sky of a night in April. Seven stars that come out together. Known in English as the Plaiedes.
