The 50th Adelaide Festival includes a benchmark exhibition from the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Lands.
Aboriginal artists from the tri-state region into the far north west of South Australia are at the heart of the contemporary Indigenous art movement.
The exhibition celebrates the work of artists who live and paint close to the Tjukurpa in their own country, at community based art centres. The exhibition underlines the importance of provenance and ethical acquisition of works.
