Lucy Yarawanga
Lucy is an emerging textile artist as well as an office worker at Bábbarra Women’s Centre. Lucy often references her ancestral stories in her textile work, including Bawaliba (Woman Spirit).
Lucy is from the Gurr-goni language group – one of the least commonly spoken languages in Arnhem Land: her mum’s language is Kunibídji and her father talks Gurr-goni.
She says, “Raylene (Raylene Bonson) taught me how to do it in a good way. She was telling me all this and that and I saw what she was doing, and I started doing it in a good way.” (Video interview 2017.)
