Yolŋu artist Dhambit Munuŋgurr’s immersive work in NGV Triennial is made up of fifteen bark paintings and nine larrakitj (hollow poles). The installation, titled Can we all have a happy life?, was created at Buku-Larrŋgay Mulka Centre, a Yolŋu-owned art centre located in the small Aboriginal community of Yirrkala in Northeast Arnhem Land.
Myles Russell-Cook, NGV Curator, and Munuŋgurr reflect on her use of acrylic paints and how blue has become the dominant palette for her works.
