Congratulations to Robyn Djunginy, proud Yolngu woman, respected elder and artist, who was celebrated as National Artist of the Year at the National NAIDOC Awards Ceremony and Ball held in Sydney on 8 July 2011.
As an acclaimed fibre artist and painter Robyn Djunginy has participated in significant exhibitions nationally and internationally for two decades. Her paintings comment on weaving as the artistic underlay and support for Indigenous culture and community. She was one of the artists contributing to the Aboriginal Memorial in 1988 and came to international notice in the 1998 Biennale of Sydney. Curator Djon Mundine OAM wrote on Robyn Djunigny for this Biennale describing her work as “a witty play with the idea that traditional painting is static” and as work that introduces a social critique using abstract forms.
Most recently she participated in the ‘conversation’ exhibitions Twined (with Karen Mills) at The Cross Art Projects, Sydney and Twining (with Debra Dawes, Karen Mills and Fiona MacDonald) at 24 Hour Arts, Darwin, both shows looking at contemporary art concepts from cross-cultural perspectives.
A board member of the Bula’Bula Arts Aboriginal Corporation, Robyn is currently working to develop a number of projects that will have significant impact on contemporary art in Australia and provide a platform for cultural exchange.
