Artwork Story
Estelle Munkanome works at Ngaruwanajirri which was established in 1994 to support local Tiwi artists with disabilities and to provide employment for people at Nguiu on Bathurst Island in the Northern Territory. Ngaruwanajirri is a Tiwi word that means ‘helping one another’.
The Ngaruwanajirri artists create works using local ochre and natural pigments on paper, canvas and carvings. They also produce carvings, monotype prints and watercolour paintings.
Works from the Ngaruwanajirri Arts Centre have been selected for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Art Award (Telstra Award) and have travelled in touring exhibitions throughout Australia and overseas. Works from Ngaruwanajirri are held in public institutions and in many private collections across Australia.
