Artist Talk: Carol Puruntatameri, Singing to Country

Join celebrated Tiwi artist Carol Puruntatameri in conversation with the Coordinator of Munupi Arts at the Art Leven Booth J09 for an intimate artist talk exploring the deep cultural practice of bark painting. As Carol explains, “Ngarukuruwala Kapi Murrakupuni means ‘we sing to the land’”—a sacred act that connects artist, ancestor, and Country. This conversation will offer rare insight into how bark, ochre, and story are gathered and transformed into artworks that echo ancestral presence. Learn how these paintings become songs to Country—alive with rhythm, meaning, and memory.
