Ben Williams (Jangala/Jaburrula) is a young Aboriginal artist from the Kanturrpa clan, totem Milway, of Warlmanpa Country (on his mother's father's side). It is hot and dry where his mob live, in the Barkly region of the Northern Territory. Ben creates contemporary art that is inspired by his family (who are also artists!), his spiritual connection to the land and animals, and his life journey as a queer Blak person. He loves to use vibrant colours and expressive detail while sharing deep and vulnerable meanings with his pieces. (Allen and Unwin)
