KNOWN is a series of publications that celebrates contemporary Indigenous Australian artists and fosters cross-cultural dialogue between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and writers, amplifying First Nations voices and strengthening cultural knowledge, language and artistic engagement. This volume features Pedro Wonaeamirri of Milikapiti on Melville Island, a member of the Jilamara Arts & Crafts Association who works across natural ochres on paper, linen and bark, printmaking and carving. Using ochres collected around Milikapiti and a kayimwagakimi, the traditional Tiwi painting comb, he works within the strong Tiwi practice of pwoja, or body designs, to continue and celebrate Tiwi tradition and culture. The cover is brown with a vertical ochre painting of red, white and black stripes.
