Tarnanthi - Arrpmarnintja – Creation from the beginning

Western Aranda artists at Iltja Ntjarra Many Hands art centre respond to the Museum of Economic Botany’s collection in two parts. In one half of the project, the men artists reflect on Palm Valley and its significance for Western Aranda culture. In the other half, women artists paint examples of plants and flowers and seeds, combining these paintings and drawings with Western Aranda plant names.
