Tarnanthi - Ankkinyi Apparr, Ankkinyi Mangurr – Our Language, Our Designs

After retrieving archival recordings of Warumungu speakers, seven artists from Barkly Arts at Tennant Creek, NT, were inspired to remember their old people, old stories and old knowledge. The paintings created range from ancestral stories to depictions of traditional healing, the arrival of whitefellas and station life. The historic audio recordings play alongside the paintings and contemporary videos in this multi-modal exhibition that evokes the sounds and colours of Warumungu Country.
