Buku Larnggay Mulka Bark Paintings

"This is letting you know so you will learn from us. Learn from these words like we have learnt from you. Your knowledge, your education, your background, we are using it. Some of the law and some of the culture of yours. OK and in the same way you must learn..."
Djambawa Marawili, Senior Artist & Madarrpa clan leader

To purchase a painting simply note the artist and catalogue number and call the Buku-Larrnggay Mulka Centre on 08-8987-1701. When you order please note the BLM Art Crew are very special people. They can get a painting to you anywhere in the world at premium freight prices. However, the person you talk to on the phone is likely to be an artist, curator, printmaker, community supporter who has taken BLM to its unique position today. So be patient and if you are lucky you may even hear a little of the stories and images that are part of your painting.
