Ngapuny Ascends

Ngapuny Ascends
Shirley says this is Ngapuny going up to heaven and Gural (Mary), she's waiting for Ngabuny to go up'. The Gija people of Warmun have written a song in their own language, telling the story of the Ascension. Guragali ngenayale Guragal Ngabunye warrameyi gelengen nyeneyu. This translates as: His Mother is here the Mother of Jesus waits for Him She prays for us still today. 

This etching is one in a series created with Basil Hall Editions in 2007 by the artists of Warmun Art Centre.
