Minbala Mami Kantri | Our Mother’s Country

Urapunga is a small Aboriginal community nestled between the Roper and Wilton Rivers, below the southern border of Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. The Ngalakgan People have lived on and cared for the area, including Urapunga, since time immemorial. Their custodianship is present in the landscape, in the burial caves and rock art shelters, the cultivated country and living descendants spread between Ngukurr, Urapunga and beyond.

Artists Rhonda Duncan and Margaret Duncan come from a long lineage of artists and masters in traditional weaving, painting, and carving. Join in for the Opening Reception of ‘Minbala Mami Kantri | Our Mother’s Country’ a vibrant depiction of stories by Rhonda and Margaret and their connection to Urapunga country, place, animals, culture and family.

This exhibition is supported by not-for-profit organisation Circulanation in partnership with the Urapunga Arts Aboriginal Corporation. Together their goal is to create a sustainable art and cultural enterprise, to share and celebrate culture, and to provide economic prosperity for future generations.

This exhibition will be showcased in the Lambert Gallery from April 19 to June 1, 2024, and available for purchase.
