The National Portrait Gallery has launched an online exhibition of Gija artist Shirley Purdie's Ngalim-Ngalimbooroo Ngagenybe to coincide with Reconciliation Week. It's a 36-panel work that pays homage to the women in Purdie's family. Ngalim-Ngalimbooroo Ngagenybe, meaning "from my women", occupies an entire gallery wall. It's accompanied by a video of the artist talking about her life. Ngalim-Ngalimbooroo Ngagenybe was created for the 2018 National Portrait Gallery exhibition So Fine: Contemporary women artists make Australian history, and was acquired by the gallery last year. Visitors have until the end of May to vote for their favourites from the current gallery prize exhibitions - The Darling Prize for painting and the National Photographic Portrait Prize - in the People's Choice Awards, which will be announced in early June. portrait.gov.au/.
