Ngananya

In 2020 Robert Fielding developed creative responses to the dissonance between the institutional knowledge held in ‘official’ archives and lived knowledge held in oral traditions. He has created a personal archive of histories and images connecting the Afghan pioneers, Anangu culture, the stolen generation, environmental changes and the ongoing process of land theft and oppression. Ngananya is the first body of work presented as part of this research.

Kulata Tjuta

In partnership with the Art Gallery of South Australia, the APY Art Centre Collective has curated this powerful exhibition of new works by artists from the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia. The exhibition showcases important paintings and photographs along with an installation of spears and tools in wood and cast bronze.

 

With the involvement of thirty-four artists from APY art centres, the exhibition presents a rare opportunity for European audiences to experience the creative scope, adaptive genius and artistic dynamism of Anangu culture today.

Kulilaya munu nintiriwa (Listen and learn)

Our late Elder and art centre director Kunmanara Williams was invited to participate in the Biennale of Sydney before his passing in March 2019. His vision for the exhibition was a large-scale political protest piece, working with the young men in Mimili to show to the world that Tjukurpa was still strong, that language was still alive, and that there was much left to learn from Anangu traditional owners.
