Yarla Jukurrpa, 2019
$250.00
Isobelle has painted women with their digging sticks, searching for yams, sharing their knowledge about them as they search for this important bush tucker.
For Warlpiri people, the Jukurrpa about the Big Yam and the Small Yam, the Yarla and the Wapirti, is a significant Ancestral narrative that reveals the importance of sustainability and harmony between people. In the Ancestor story, two brothers owned the different ancestral rights for the Yarla [Big Yam] and the Wapirti [Small Yam]. As they moved towards each other from each of their sites, their followers clashed in huge fight, leading to loss of life and destruction. The story is played out by Warlpiri people and it sits in their culture as a reminder of the importance of the yam as a food resource that needs to be managed fairly and shared to maintain social cohesion. Jukurrpa narratives are embedded in ceremony and song.
