The Hawke Centre’s Kerry Packer Civic Gallery presents Nan ngelar winamen: Two hearts beat ‘n time featuring the artwork of Muriel ‘Mumthelang’ Van Der Byl AM and Julianne ‘Ambo’ Jakaitis. United in their aboriginality they have come together to share stories of family, life and culture through art.
Their paintings are executed in a myriad of colours and media that together form a kaleidoscope that acknowledges the spirits of the ancestors that occupy the landscape, and reflects the spiritual intensity of the lands, skies, waters, birds and animals – all symbolic of their personal connections with their country.
