Reknowned Rirratjingu artist Dhuwarrwarr Marika has been commissioned to paint a series of works in response to the themetic of the forum. After discussions with the artist in relation to issues like sustainable occupation, governance and resource rights she decided to paint a story passed on to her by her father Mawalan Marika. The series centres on a turtle hunting expedition. The first, which is now complete, depicts the preparation by the hunters of their equipment. The hunters are twisting rope and other items are spread out before them on the beach.
