AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'This painting describes the journey of the Minyipuru while they were still travelling as a large group of sisters and their mothers. The white U-shapes represent them as they flew close to Parnngurr, where women’s law tells that an important event took place. Afterwards, they flew on to Kalypa. The dance for this site is performed by both men and women.' (Source: Mira website)
