Many artists start their careers carving and painting boabs for sale as gifts, decorations and for sharing stories before moving onto painting on canvas and other art forms. Artefacts are made locally by artists and craftspeople, many of whom are Mangkaja artists. Keep an eye out for their paintings in our artwork section.

Them old people tell the young ones to go down and get some sugarleaf for cooking

sometimes Im proud

Catfish that lives in freshwater that we eat and taste good

Just to save my life

picked up the best horse to muster that day

I thought Im not going to walk again
