Gumang Mapu (magpie goose egg hunting) hoodie

While it might be rare for the mercury to drop below 30 degrees in Ramingining, these trackpants will keep you looking cool at any temperature. In this design, George Milpurrurru has depicted men in bark canoes collecting Gumang Mapu (magpie goose eggs), which are sacred to the Ganalbingu people. To the east of the Arafura Swamp is a freshwater billabong which is said to have been made by the Goose Spirit and is in the shape of a goose nest. As a result, the geese, their eggs and their nests are sacred.

Details:

  • AS Colour 290 GSM
  • 80% cotton 20% polyester anti-pill fleece
  • Created in collaboration with MCA

Why Warriors by Richard Trudgen

“Many books have been written about the Yolgnu people of Arnhem Land. This one is very different. It speaks about the real situation that we face every day, a reality that is hard for people of another culture to imagine.” – Rev. Dr. Djiniyini Gondarra OAM.

Why Warriors Lie Down and Die is essential reading for anyone interested in indigenous peoples. It provides hope and new direction for those simply searching for answers as to why ‘the problems’ seem to persist in Aboriginal communities. It also offers insights for those who want a greater understanding of the issues involved in achieving true reconciliation. 

First published in 2000.

Hand screenprinted card

This greeting card was screenprinted by Yolŋu art workers at Bula’Bula Arts. We print small batches of cards, tea towels, tshirts and fabric lengths by hand because we love putting Yolŋu designs on everyday items – especially ones that balanda (non-Yolŋu) use! Due to the lovely handmade nature of this product, print quality may vary.

Each of these cards has been designed by Bula’bula artists and represents their totems. 

Manymak (very good)! Buying Bula’Bula Arts products helps us build a sustainable income source for our 150 artists and artworkers from Ramingining and surrounding outstations.
