Gija Goowoolem doo Minybernem – Gija Trees and Grasses
Both a stunning art book and an extraordinary ethnobotanical record, Gija Goowoolem doo Minybernem shares detailed knowledge of plants from Gija Country in the East Kimberley. Told by senior Gija Elder and artist Birrmarriya Shirley Purdie, and created in collaboration with Frances Kofod, the book features 72 remarkable paintings alongside stories of plant use, cultural meaning, Ngarranggarni (Creation Time) knowledge, and life on Country. This richly layered work is a lasting legacy of care for land, language and future generations. 

Yawulyu: Art and Song in Warlpiri Women’s Ceremony
A powerful testament to Warlpiri women’s cultural authority, Yawulyu explores women’s ceremonial life through song, art and dance. Created through deep collaboration between Warlpiri women at Willowra, the late Lucy Nampijinpa Martin, and ethnochoreologist Megan Morais, the book documents and returns vital cultural knowledge to community. Featuring hundreds of ceremonial body designs, song transcriptions, translations and QR codes linking to recordings, Yawulyu foregrounds women as custodians and teachers of Law, music and ceremony.

Bundle includes:

• Yawulyu: Art and Song in Warlpiri Women’s Ceremony
• Gija Goowoolem doo Minybernem – Gija Trees and Grasses
• Free ASP tote bag

A thoughtful gift that celebrates women’s knowledge, cultural continuity and the enduring relationship between people and Country.  Pick up this bundle exclusively from the AIATSIS Shop.
