FRIDAY 10 MARCH TO TUESDAY 28 MARCH 2023, 11AM TO 4PM

In partnership with Iwantja Arts

Vibrant new paintings by 10 Yankunytjatjara women artists from Indulkana in the APY Lands of South Australia feature both interpretations of Country and the work of women in celebration of International Women’s Day 2023.

Included are paintings by Emily Cullinan, Julie Yatjitja, Maringka Burton, Priscilla Singer, Raylene Walatinna, Rosalind Tjanyari, Trisha Singer and Yajtiki Cullinan as well as a collaborative work by four artists and those by mother and daughter painting duo Jeannie and Katie Walatinna.

All the artists describe their Country (Ngura) as both beautiful (wiru) and rich in important creation sites and meaning. The most senior of the group – Maringka Burton – is also a traditional healer whose paintings incorporate reference to her healing practice; mid-career artist Julie Yatjitja’s paintings of Iwantja Soakage depict the creek alongside which she was born, adjacent to which the Indulkana community developed. Her friend and painting colleague Rosalind Tjanyari’s new works capture the spirit and energy of her country while showing a stylistic development for this mid generation artist in use of a more painterly style and bold magentas, greens and yellows while Jeannie and Katie Walatinna’s elegant new paintings feature dotted rippling lines and spare imagery.

Exhibiting artists: Emily Cullinan, Jeannie + Katie Walatiinna, Julie Yatjitja, Maringka Burton, Priscilla Singer, Raylene Walatinna, Rosalind Tjanyari, Trisha Singer, Yatjiki Cullinan

Exhibition dates: March 10-28
