Artwork location: France
Janganpa Jukurrpa (Dreaming of the Brush-tailed Possum) roams all over Warlpiri country. Janganpa are nocturnal animals that often nest in the hollows of white gum trees (white-trunked gums, very common in central Australia). This story comes from a large hill called Mawurrji, west of Yuendumu and north of Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs). A group of Janganpa ancestors resided there. Every night, they would go in search of food. Their hunting expeditions took them to Wirlki and Wanapirdi, where they found pamapardu (flying ants). They continued on to Ngarlkirdipini in search of water. An ancestral woman by the skin name Nampijinpa lived at Mawurrji with her two daughters. She gave her daughters in marriage to a Jupurrurla (meaning an Ancestral Being Opossum with the skin name Jupurrurla), but later decided to run away with them. The enraged Jupurrurla pursued the woman. He tracked them to Mawurrji, where he hacked them to death with a stone axe. Their bodies are now rocks there. The Warlpiri practice an initiation ceremony for young men involving this Dreaming. The Janganpa Jukurrpa belongs to the men of the Jakamarra/Jupurrurla sub-sections and to the Nakamarra/Napurrurla women. In Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is used to represent this Jukurrpa. The traces of the "Janganpa" are often represented by "E"-shaped figures, and concentric circles are used to represent the trees where the "Janganpa" live, as well as the sites of Mawurrji.

Presentation
Bessie Nakamarra Sims (c. 1932 – 2012) was an Aboriginal artist from the community of Yuendumu, a settlement centre of the Warlpiri group.
Born in the 1930s in the Tanami Desert of Central Australia, Bessie grew up in a traditional way. She only encountered Western culture as an adult, when she worked on a cattle ranch at Mt Doreen, west of Yuendumu.
In the 1980s, Bessie became one of the first women to become involved in the art movement in the southern Tanami Desert region. Her career was also closely linked to that of her husband, Paddy Sims Japaljarri, one of the most important Warlpiri artists and renowned for his immense knowledge.
It draws inspiration from ancestral stories (Jukurrpa) such as the Ngarlajiyi (Dreaming of the Bush Carrot), the Janganpa (Dreaming of the Possum), the Pamapardu (Dreaming of the Flying Ant), the Karntajarra (Dreaming of Two Women), the Yarla (Dreaming of the Wild Potato) and the Mukaki (Dreaming of the Wild Plum).
Bessie participated in numerous exhibitions in Australia and internationally, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Scotland, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Korea, and China. She was also active in her community, participating in the Yuendumu Night Patrol to ensure local safety. She passed away in May 2012, surrounded by her family.
Bessie Nakamarra Sims's works are featured in many prestigious private and public institutions.
