APY GALLERY MELBOURNE
IWANTJA ARTS
Itingka Itingka - Side by side
Group Exhibition
Iwantja Arts is based in the rocky, desert country of Indulkana Community on the
Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands.
The women of Iwantja Arts present their journeys and memories of country.
The depictions of long, dry plains, caves, sand-hills and rock holes glow with pride, vibrancy and interconnectedness.
"All of us ladies, we paint everyday together, side by side. We love to come together at our art centre. It's where we gather to paint, and while we work, we talk sometimes, we sing and dance. We support one another and there is always a lot of excitement as we share our paintings and our successes with each other. Family, sisters, mothers, and friends all meeting at the art centre. We are not only painting together but we are sharing life together, side by side. That's the Anangu way, sharing not only our art but our culture and our stories." - Priscilla Singer.
