Jimmy Mungatopi

Skin: Miyartuwi (Pandanus)
Dot Texture Short 2

Jimmy Mungatopi has spent most of his life at the art centre. The old people said, “join in – we want to pass this place on to young people like yourself”. When he was told this he thought, “I’m not going doing anything else and I had to think how do I want to move on?”

Jimmy decided he would come to Jilamara to build a life for himself and his kids.

Jimmy is an alumnus of the ANKAAA 2014 Arts Worker Extension Program. He is recognised for his traditional dancing and singing.  He has exhibited in the ‘Emerging Artists’ exhibition at Outstation in 2014 and in several of the Tiwi exhibitions held at Double Tree Hilton during the Darwin Festival.
