Yirrkala Dreaming (East Arnhem Land)

Ben has painted a story deriving from his mother’s Jukurrpa Dreaming in reference to the Duhwa Clan from Yirrkala, East Arnhem Land. Everything in the Yolnu world view is made up of two moieties. One is Yirritja and the other one is Dhuwa. Dhuwa and Yirritja make up our world view. They are two parts of our holistic world view. Yirritja and Dhuwa fit together perfectly. Everything in Yirritja and Dhuwa is connected. Yirritja and Dhuwa people intermarry and everything in the land is either Yirritja or Dhuwa.
