Manankurra (Manangoora) is in the southwest Gulf country of the Northern Territory , 60 kilometres from Borroloola : a place of historical and cultural significance for the artists.

The story of place, identity, struggle , celebration and endurance are the inspiration for each artist

The marine environment , the salt pans, the beaches , the birds , the history all call out , they begin and unfold in each painting.

In the moment things come together in song and dance and painting the country is one voice to share and connect.

The message is strong and unwavering , it's the heart of our life , beating strong , our land .
