Pauline Napangardi Gallagher and Cherylyn Napangardi Granites
Warlpiri woman and Warlukurlangu Artist, Pauline Gallagher paints the epic story of Mina Mina Jukurrpa or Mina Mina Dreaming, a story of ancestral women traveling from west to east across Country. Their creative powers are expressed through dance, ceremony, and their collaborative digging for food with their karlangu (digging sticks). These stories are depicted through sinuous lines representing nyalyipi (snakevine), circles and roundels as jintiparnta (bush truffles) and straight lines (digging sticks).
Minia Mina Jukurrpa is an important source of Warlpiri ritual knowledge and social organisation, particularly relating to the different roles performed by men and women. It alludes to an earlier time in which social and ritual roles were reversed, and in which women controlled the sacred objects and weapons now exclusively 'owned' by men.
Born in 1952 in Yuendumu, Pauline moved to Nyirripi in 1983 where she still lives. Pauline’s country is Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs), a sacred water hole located near Mount Doreen Station west of Yuendumu and approximately 350 km north-west of Alice Springs. Pauline has been painting since 2006 with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation.
Cherylyn Napangardi Granites paints Nguru Yurntumu-wana, or Country Around Yuendumu, including the natural features of the area such as rocky hills, creeks, soakages and waterholes. These sites are associated with different Jukurrpa or Dreaming Stories important to Warlpiri culture. Cherylyn uses traditional iconography to represent the landscape of the area combined with a range of contemporary techniques such as spilling and dribbling paint across the canvas. Her work is attracting significant attention powerfully bridging the traditional and modern aesthetic. Cherylyn lives in Yuendumu and paints with Warlukurlangu Artists.

Warlukurlangu Artists is a prolific and successful Aboriginal-owned art centre in Central Australia and has work in collections across Australia and internationally. The principle aim of the art centre is to share Warlpiri culture and to increase awareness about Aboriginal culture in general. Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association is the guardian of the Jukurrpa, the law and culture of the Warlpiri and Anmatyerre people living at Yuendumu.
These acrylic paintings, as a collection, are a powerful tool of contemporary artistic expression, demonstrating diverse and collaborative methodology, and the artist’s ability to capture the vitality of Jukurrpa and its essential, vital integration with country. The artists’ Jukurrpa stories are vast in time and space, yet simultaneously acute, personal and immediate.
