Catalogue

Catalogue from the seminal ‘We don’t need a map’ exhibition, a celebration of the lively and enduring culture of the Martu – the traditional owners of a vast area of WA’s Western Desert.

This remarkable exhibition includes the work of more than 30 artists and is an exploration of the Martu people, their way of life, the way they care for country and belong to it. As well as illustrating the distinct contemporary visual language of the Martu, this landmark event broke down barriers by bringing together Martu and other artists to collaborate and exhibit together. Featuring works comprising stunning paintings, cutting-edge new media collaborations, finely wrought objects, and aerial desert photography.

Design by Nancy Chapman

Flexible moisture wicking headwear that can be worn in 12 ways, printed with Martumili Artist Nyanjilpayi Nancy Chapman’s painting, ‘Parnkarl Minyipuru Jukurrpa’ (Seven Sisters’dreaming at Parnkarl).

This painting depicts a part of the Minyi Puru (Seven Sisters) story at Parnkarl. Minyipuru is an important jukurrpa (dreamtime) story about seven sisters that are travelling through the desert, running away from Yurla, a lustful old man. The man chases the wanti(women) all the way from Roebourne on the west coast, right through Martu country before flying east across Australia. Along the way they stop at many significant sites to camp, sing, dance and collect bush tucker, leaving markers in the landscape along the way. The many events and interactions with Yurla chronicled through the story create a culturally rich narrative that is associated with the Pleiades star constellation.

My mother and my brothers ran away, right up to the Puntawarri because the whitefellas were shooting at the Martu people. They were sneaking in and the gun went off, and they all ran and just kept running and running until they got to Puntawarri.”

Tablemat Set

Set of four tablemats made in heat, stain and scratch resistant melamine with 3.2mm hardboard and cork backing, featuring the collaborative artwork ‘Minyipuru ‘ by Martumili Artists Muni Rita Simpson, Rosie Williams and Dulcie Gibbs.

Sisters Muni, Rosie and Dulcie grew up in the Country depicted in this painting. But it is the epic story of the Seven Sisters or Minyipuru, which they have described here. In this story, the old man Yurla, who had been pursuing the sisters, captured one of the women at Parnkarpini, between wells 35 and 36. The Minyipuru tricked him and rescued her.

Poor old fella, he had a rough time. He was trying and trying and trying.

The Minyipuru promised to stay with the old man Yurla but, when he returned from collecting wood, they were floating above his head, teasing him. Yurla made a ladder but the sisters pushed it over and laughed at him. When he collapsed, exhausted, they rescued their sister and flew away.
