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.
Art Mob sources from Maningrida hollow log coffins (lorrkon), bark paintings, mimih spirit and other sculptures, as well as various type of fibre sculptures including fish traps.
