A window to our past

In 1978, renowned Indigenous painters Narritjin Maymuru and his son Banapana were the first Indigenous artists awarded an ANU Creative Arts Fellowship.

In addition to making work, Narritjin and Banapana also taught students in an anthropology of art course and instructed students at the School of Art in bark painting.

This painting (right) that Narritjin gifted to the ANU was Banapana's 'Djarrakpi Landscape'.
