Artwork

Renae paints Tjukurpa (Dreaming story) about minyma mamu which was passed onto her by her grandmother, as her grandmother Manyitjanu Lennon describes the country: 'Mamungari-nya is a long, long way over the other side of the sand dunes past Tipilnga, a place where many white trees grow. This is the place where women came and were turned into the white marble gums on the sand dune south of Watarru. Mamungari-nya is a place of claypans and a special women's site where lots of little gum saplings and emu bush grow.'

Aṉangu Art via Adelaide

This artwork comes from Iwiṟi Arts, an Aṉangu-led organisation in Adelaide established by Aṉangu who had moved from remote communities due to limited services and chronic health needs. The studio supports artists visiting or living in the city from the APY Lands, helping maintain strong cultural connection to Country, language and Tjukurpa while away from homelands.
