the moment eternal: Nyapanyapa Yunupiŋu

2 May 2020 – 25 October 2020

For over two decades Nyapanyapa Yunupiŋu has worked from the remote community of Yirrkala in the Northern Territory, creating significant paintings, drawings, sculptures and screen-based works.

​

This exhibition charts the evolution of her practice, which challenges the conventions of Yolŋu art making and has established her as an important Australian artist.

​

The exhibition features a large scale multimedia work that has been specially commissioned for this exhibition, as well as an accompanying catalogue.

​

​

​

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council for the Arts, its arts funding and advisory body.
