About Milikapiti Melville Island
All jilamara (design) is originally drawn from the body painting which accompanied the pukumani (funeral) and Kulama (initiation yam) ceremonies. All the artists living at Milikapiti are drawing on collective Tiwi memory, and individual expression and aesthetic qualities of each artist's work is reflective of their personal interpretation of traditional Tiwi design or jilamara.
