PUPUNI JILAMARA
During ceremony on the Tiwi Islands, a series of ‘yoi’ (dances) are performed, some of which are totemic and show a narrative of newly composed songs.
Participants in these ceremonies are painted with turtiyanginari, transforming the dancers and, in some cases, providing protection against mapurtiti (spirits). These significant artistic designs are collectively called ‘Jilamara’.
