Bark Ladies: Eleven Artists from Yirrkala celebrates eleven daring artists - all women who, throughout their lives, have collectively pushed the boundaries of contemporary Australian painting.

This publication by Myles Russell-Cook accompanies the exhibition Bark Ladies: Eleven Artists from Yirrkala, which celebrates the National Gallery of Victoria's extraordinary collection of work by Yolnu women artists who have worked at Buku-Larrngay Mulka Centre (Buku), in North-East Arnhem Land.

Included in this publication are works by Nancy Gaymala Yunupinu, Gulumbu Yunupinu, Barrupu Yunupinu, Ms N. Yunupinu, Eunice Djerrknu Yunupinu, Nongirrna Marawili, Dhambit Munungurr, Mulkun Wirrpanda, Naminapu Maymuru-White, Malaluba Gumana and Dhuwarrwarr Marika. By bringing together these eleven artists, this book highlights the extraordinary tonality, scale, diversity and materiality of their work.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
