Mina Mina Jukurrpa Tote Bag

This Australian Made cotton tote bag features Mina Mina Jukurrpa by renowned Warlpiri artist Judy Napangardi Watson, whose energetic brushwork brings the sacred women’s Dreaming to life. Produced in collaboration with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation—a 100% Aboriginal-owned, not-for-profit art centre in the Central Desert community of Yuendumu—each tote is a celebration of culture and storytelling. The print placement varies slightly from bag to bag, making each piece one of a kind. It features a fully lined interior with a convenient pocket, and includes a swing tag with details about the artist and artwork.

About the Artist:

Judy Napangardi Watson (c. 1935–2016) was a leading Warlpiri artist born at Yarungkanji, Mt. Doreen Station in the Northern Territory. Growing up in a traditional nomadic lifestyle, she spent long periods with her family on ancestral lands at Mina Mina and Yingipurlangu, places of deep cultural significance. Taught by her elder sister, acclaimed artist Maggie Napangardi Watson, Judy developed her own vibrant and energetic style, known for its dynamic "dragged dotting" technique. Her works predominantly depict the Jukurrpa (Dreaming) associated with Mina Mina, including powerful women's stories and sacred ceremonial sites. Active since the early 1990s, her art is held in major collections across Australia and internationally. Judy’s work is celebrated for its bold abstraction, deep cultural meaning, and her lifelong commitment to sharing Warlpiri culture through painting.
