Featuring new work by Arrernte and Southern Luritja artist Sally M Nangala Mulda and Western Arrarnta artist Marlene Rubuntja, this ACMI touring exhibition encompasses video, bush-dyed, handsewn soft sculptures and observationalist paintings, and recounts intertwining stories of friendship and resilience. An animated work, Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka Kutjara, Two Girls, 2023, delves into the reality of First Peoples’ experiences in Central Australia, chronicling the artists’ successes and struggles.
Playful, self-referential, and humorous, Two Girls From Amoonguna embodies the history and rich culture of Mparntwe/Alice Springs and its surrounding town camps.
