16.01.2022 NAIDOC Week Always Was, Always Will Be. Arrernte Land. @triple_j asked local Indigenous artists to illustrate their connection to Country and what it means to them. ... By Thea Perkins @anamara_art I'm an Arrernte and Kalkadoon woman with family ties to the Redfern community. I chose to make a work about Arrernte country, in central Australia, in and around Mpwarnte (Alice Springs). The feelings I have for this country are deep, resonant and inherent - it is because we are part of it, and it is part of us. I wanted to share the desert heart of the country - sublime,beautiful and treacherous. In thiswork I wanted to hone into one of my favourite moments when the country slides into dusk, vast skies make for grand sunsets, and there is a sweet relent from the intense heat of the day. It also touches on the fleeting and precious presence of water, water is life or death in the desert,and its transience echoes the fragile balance of life. I’m very fortunate to be here learning about and participating in the culture that is my inheritance, that has been practiced for millennia. See more

The landscape is scattered with humpies, with people sitting down around fires and people performing Ceremony. This Ceremony is open to all men, women and children are participating. M’Bunghara, located on M’Bunghara Creek [known as Dashwood Creek] surrounded by Glen Helen Station, is where Maryanne was born. It is now home to a small Outstation Community of extended family, also called M’Bunghara.

08.01.2022 Congratulations to all artists shortlisted for the KWMFNAA especially Sally M Mulda #Repost @kwmlaw KWMFNAA Finalist: Sally M Nangala Mulda, 'Worrying for sickness'... Nangala Section, NT ‘Old woman eating hot pie. Other woman drinking orange juice. Two woman talking sickness, get worry. Dog sleeping. No worry.’ In this painting Sally demonstrates the way Covid-19 looms in the minds of the Aboriginal population of Central Australia, a topic of grave concern. A long-term Town Camp resident in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), Sally has consistently narrated her life in and around Mpwetyerre, also known as Abbott’s Town Camp, and prior to that, Little Sisters Town Camp. Her body of work is an on-going autobiographical document, witness to both everyday life and its complexity as experienced by any and all residents of the 18 Town Camps in Alice Springs. #kwmfnaa #indigenousart #indigenousartist

04.01.2022 After Rain at Running Water, Illari Creek Betty Conway 'This is me and family camping out at Illari Creek, other [northern] side [Tempe Downs Station Homestead is to the south]. That creek takes you all the way up to Utju [Areyonga Community].... This one, this is good spot for sleeping. It's only one good spot. There are a few there, but I like this one. When we take all the kids, we sleep this side [meaning on the southern side of the range] sometimes, but the waterhole here is not too deep. Feral horse there - too many - all drink from the creek. Crows in sky looking down, watching for scraps. At night-time we always sing out to dingoes from the camp and dingoes come. We always put our scraps from cooking in the same spot. We watch the stars, waiting to sleep at night, and we watch the dingoes eating all the scraps. For years and years, we always do same thing. Dingoes always come there, once we are laying down. They are there at night. Gone in morning. They don't bother us, and we don't bother them. This is my country - Tempe Downs, where I was born.'

01.01.2022 Illiarara Rockhole, north of Tempe Downs Homestead Marjorie Williams aka Nunga ‘The waterhole is for the bush animals who come and drink the water. It's north of Tempe Downs homestead. This is my Country. And that little Country area is for the animals because these animals lives there. And people used to go and cut some minkulpa there (white flowered plants on the hill). Not anymore. It's dry. It won't be dry forever, but this is good times, in the past.’
