Wanyubi Marika is a contemporary Aboriginal Australian artist known for his bark painting. He is also a well-known community leader and senior ranger in the Laynhapuy Homelands.
Biography[edit]
Wanyubi Marika was born in Darwin, Australia on January 30th, 1967.[1] He lives between the town of Yirrkala in Eastern Arnhem Land, and his wife's outstation at Baniyala.[2] He is of the Dhuwa moiety, the son of Milirrpum Marika and Reverend Liyapadiny Marika, and a member of the Rirratjingu clan. His father, best known for being the plaintiff in the Australian Supreme Court case Milirrpum v Nabalco Pty Ltd, sent Wanyubi to school to learn English. Wanyubi attended preschool, primary and secondary school in Yirrkala, graduating from Nhulunbuy Secondary School in 1983.[1][3] He also attended Batchelor Institute[2] through TAFE NSW[3] where he earned an Associate degree in Community Management. [2][3]
Domestic Career[edit]
In the early 2000s, inspired by the positive impact that the Dhimurru Indigenous Protected Area (or IPA), Wanyubi set out to form an IPA for the Laynhapuy region.[4] One Homeland-based Yirralka Ranger stated that, "I was there at the start, when Wanyubi [Yolngu initiator of the program] started up. I’ll be a ranger until I die!"[5] Beginning with nearly 1,160 square miles (300,000 hectares) in 2006, the region now covers over 2,600 square miles (690,000 hectares).[6][7] As of 2014, Wanyubi serves the Laynhapuy IPA as one of Yirrkala's two Senior Culture Advisors.[8] He has been a significant inspiration to the other rangers.
Art Career[edit]
Beginning his art career with two works at Saltwater–Yirrkala Bark Paintings of Sea Country[3][9], Wanyubi Marika built on the artistic training of his "fathers", friends and kin of his father's, to learn painting skill. Some notable examples include Djambawa Marawili and Gawirrin Gumana.[2] He currently holds the position of Buku-Larranggay Mulka committee chairperson, and was part of the curatorial team for Maḏayin: Eight Decades of Aboriginal Australian Bark Painting from Yirrkala, and exhibition made in conjuction with the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection.[10]
