Hi there,
No pretty sure that's the good section but...
I bought last summer a mago in manningrida art center and I just know the artist name Wally Djorlom. Does anyone have more information about this crafter / artist (language, community...) ?
Thanks for your help
Laurent
PS: I just found information on this link but my knowledge of the asiatic languages is really limited...

Hi Laurent,
How are you doing? How was the trip to NT?
This seems like a nice Mago, hope it does sound good too,
cheers
Mahir, (
Hi mahir
So far so good every day! What about you? Are the belgium fries always tasty?
For the trip, that was a good story: discovered the country, met people (not enough much in my opinion but each step in its time...)... Good first overview in summary. Now just work and obtain a visa to work there for something interesting...
About the mago, it seems have the idea of the following mago from Sonya Namarnyilk in a certain way... That's confirm what Guan wrote about it.
Cheers
Laurent

Some of the Djorlom family are well-know artists, many live in Western Arnhem Land like at Oenpelli and outstations of the area.

hi guan,
Thanks for your answer, I'm gonna search in this way to have more information about.
Something strange is that Manningrida is not the closer door from Gunbalanya and outstations and there is too an Art Center in Gunbalanya.
Cheers
Laurent

Hi Laurent,
To answer your question, it is because people travel. To visit family, for ceremony, for work, for hunting etc. Sometimes a person might stay in a certain outstation or community for a few months or longer, then move somewhere else to stay.
Look at this video I took in 1997. No-one would imagine to find Gupapuyngu families performing ceremony at Bulugaduru (also spelt Buluhkaduru) which is totally different country, totally language and culture.
Some people travel a lot too... like George Nawutpu who is a fantastic mago maker but he is so hard to find, always on the move! Other people, like Valerie Milminyina, when she was artist-in-residence here at iDIDJ Australia, it was her first time she had been in Darwin when we were traveling in transit. Hard to believe but it is true!

That's not false Guan When I wrote my answer I had only the "business" vision related to art localization and not the traveller, nomad vision of this people....
Thanks for your explanation
Cheers
