Nyapanyapa Yunupingu is a woman of small stature, but big on style. Her art practice is quite independent of any bark-painting tradition within the Arnhem Land region. She is the daughter of the famous cultural leader Munggurrawuy Yunupinggu and sister to Galarrwuy and Mandawuy, both Australians of the Year.
— Franchesca Cubillo, National Gallery of Australia

Salon Art Projects in conjunction with Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery of Sydney present a new show to coincide with the first ever retrospective exhibition for an Indigenous woman at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the moment eternal – Nyapanyapa Yunupingu
