Michael Reid Sydney - @maningridaarts MANINGRIDA Arts & Culture is a pre-eminent site of contemporary cultural expression and art-making, abundant with highly collectable art and emerging talent. Through their homelands resource organisation, Bawinanga Aboriginal Corporation, artists turned an art trade that began just over 50 years ago into an arts and cultural enterprise. Ways of learning and schools of art in Arnhem Land are based around a system of passing knowledge and information on to others. The art here has its genesis in body design, rock art and cultural practices, in concert with more than 50 years of collaborations, travel and political action to retain ownership of country. Values and law are expressed through language, imagery, manikay (song), bunggul (dance), doloppo bim (bark painting), sculptures, and kun-madj (weaving) – the arts. #maningridaarts #maningridaartsandculture #anniebellmarrngamarrnga #kinga #arnhemland #michaelreidsydney #michaelreidberlin (at Michael Reid Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFd8wenjP2Y/?igshid=93gkxbiiyd5p

THIS WEEK at Michael Reid Sydney - MANINGRIDA Arts & Culture @maningridaarts is a pre-eminent site of contemporary cultural expression and art-making, abundant with highly collectable art and emerging talent. Maningrida Arts & Culture is based on Kunibídji country in Arnhem Land in Australia’s Northern Territory. The area where artists live encompasses 7,000 square kilometres of land and sea, and over 100 clan estates, where people speak more than 12 distinct languages. Aboriginal people in this region are still on country, surviving and resilient because their country is the centre of their epistemology, their belief system, culture – djang. Pictured here is Ankabadberri, located near the Cadell River about an hour drive south-east of Maningrida community. It is one of over 30 outstations supported by @bawinanga_aboriginal_corp. #maningridaarts #maningridaartsandculture #arnhemland #michaelreidsydney #michaelreidberlin #bawinanga (at Michael Reid Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFYA0I5jHBu/?igshid=pisfvigufswa

This is a rare opportunity to acquire works directly from a Museum show - PRIMAVERA 2019 featuring @maningridaarts artists Rosina Gunjarrwanga and Kenan Namunjdja is on view at @mca_australia until 20 February. Since 1992, PRIMAVERA has showcased the works of young artists who are at the forefront of representing progressive trends in Australian contemporary art. For its 2019 iteration, Mitch Cairns was appointed curator, selecting seven artists from across the country. Of these seven, two young indigenous artists, Rosina Gunjarrwanga and Kenan Namunjdja of Maningrida Arts & Culture, present intricate bark paintings and lorrkkon (hollow log burial poles) which reference sacred sites and ancestral beings, as well as ceremonial design.
