In the remote Tiwi Islands, a 20-strong group of female Elders have been coming together to sing for decades, composing and performing songs that hold cultural, genealogical, geographical and spiritual knowledge passed down through thousands of years.
A joint project by the Indigenous Literacy Foundation (ILF) and Hardie Grant, Murli-la is a beautifully designed book that shares these many lifetimes of sung knowledge.
In this unforgettable book talk, members of the Ngarukuruwala Women's Group - Elaine Tiparui, Jacinta Tipungwuit and Mary Elizabeth Moreen - are joined by their musical collaborator and co-author, Genevieve Campbell, and ILF's Tictac Moore to discuss Tiwi culture and the process of creating this richly layered book.
