Burrup and rock art The genius of indigenous art In the third dimension - ceramics and sculpture Other films In this resource section of the creative cowboy films website we are bringing together, in one place, a broad ranging art resource. The resource section will cover specific topics and raise issues of cultural significance to encourage further study and debate. An article by Ross Bowden calls for the development of a major museum of Oceanic and Aboriginal Art in Australia, to put on public display, one of the world’s great collections in this genre. We take a look at the genius of indigenous art and, in the third dimension, we investigate the evolution of contemporary ceramics. The Burrup rock art precinct This section contains an article by Peter Hylands about the continued destruction of the rock engravings of the Burrup Murujuga in Western Australia. There are also interviews which include discussions with local Ngarluma indigenous leader Robyne Churnside and former Western Australian Premier, Carmen Lawrence. This section also contains a photo gallery of images from the Burrup Murujuga.
