Bunjil Place Gallery, in partnership with the Art Gallery of South Australia’s acclaimed Tarnanthi program, will present an exhibition of major contemporary works by celebrated women artists from the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands.
Drawn from AGSA’s collection, Kungka Kuṉpu (Strong Women) tells the inspiring tale of women supporting each other across generations, expressed through exemplary paintings, large-scale woven sculptural installations and moving image works. Working individually and collaboratively, these women leaders share an irrepressible desire to create ground-breaking works, deeply embedded with cultural knowledge and rich in ceremonial song and performance.
Through major contemporary works by more than 60 Aṉangu women artists – cultural custodians of an oral tradition that epitomises the art of storytelling, Kungka Kuṉpu features works that centre on caring for Country, mapping significant sites and life-sustaining practices of the desert, while also sharing complex narratives surrounding family obligations and relationships.
