Story: Ninti Pulka (Pitjantjatjara for “learned, knowledgeable, very smart”) is inspired by the passing down of knowledge, strength, and resilience from our Old People to our emerging leaders and future custodians of the land, water, history, culture, stories, and lore. It reflects our ways of teaching, sharing, and growing, embodying the strength instilled in us so that we may walk forward in the footsteps of our Elders and continue the legacy of the world’s oldest living culture.

Story: Wintjiri is the Pitjantjatjara word for an expanse of Country. This work is about the Country that stretches as far as the eye can see and as far as the spirit can feel. Country can heal us as much as we can heal it. This work speaks to our ability to look after Country through cultural means, such as traditional fire management and other methods of care. It also speaks to Country and its ability to heal us. This relationship is reciprocal. We are as much a part of Country as it is a part of us. Healing Country is healing ourselves, and healing ourselves is healing Country.

Story: Inma in the Pitjantjatjara language means “song,” “dance,” and “ceremony.” The Anangu people have Inma to celebrate, as a form of prayer, and for ceremonies where they dance and sing. This artwork represents the movement and colour of Inma, capturing the ethereal and sacred nature of Anangu ceremony. They move, sing, and express their dreaming and songlines through Inma, embodying the stories and designs of the Tjukurpa (Ancestral Law, or Dreamtime). The ceremony carries camaraderie, joy, playfulness, and seriousness, and may last for hours.

Story: The concept of Songlines is deeply important to the Anangu; the Pitjantjatjara people, and to many other language groups. Songlines follow the landscape and depict the dreaming of that place, telling the story of how that landscape came to be and the Aboriginal connection to the land itself through the dreaming. Songlines might follow a creation-being through the landscape, creating sacred places in their wake, like the Seven Sisters, a celestial tale that narrates the journey of seven sisters, represented by the stars. Songlines are vital as they document our connection to the land in song, or inma (ceremonial song and dance), ensuring that the stories are passed down to the next generation.
