My Mother’s Awelye (Women’s Ceremony) Story II – Dora Mpetyane

Dora has painted the Awelye (Women’s Ceremonial Body Paint Designs) for the ancestral dreamtime stories of the Anemangkerr (bush melon or tomato) which belong to her mother’s country, Atnwengerrp, in the Utopia Region. Dora inherited the permission to paint this design by her mother, the late Minnie Pwerle.
