Kaff-eine and MimMim’s first mural collaboration is a celebration of identity, place, unity and friendship. The woman represents Darwin’s/Garamilla’s diverse multicultural population; she is a proud independent woman, from many nations. She cradles a large gentle python, whose abstract markings tell the story of family and love. The markings Larrakia/Gulumoerrgin artist Mim chose hold very special meaning for her, & remain one of her favourite (and most recognisable) images. With different backgrounds, but many similarities, the mural also honours the artists’ friendship and creative partnership, and peaceful unity between women. 
“We are both the snake, and the woman.”
