“Arrweketye areyele ayeye ileme” - The
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Midwives Scholarship
Trust Exhibition
Arrweketye areyele ayeye eleme (pronounced arkutja rele yia
ilema) translates exactly to 'women, group of, story telling'.
The exhibition is themed around 'Women's Business' and will
curate works from Aboriginal owned Art Centres and women artists
from all over the central and western desert. Included in
the exhibition will be works by well known artist Mitjili
Napanangka Gibson and Dorothy Napangardi. The auntie and neice
relationship is how ritual knowledge is passed on.
Mitjili Napanangka Gibson was born circa 1940 at Winparrku
near Papunya, an area west of Alice Springs in the Northern
Territory. Her country is called Wilkinkarra which is her
father’s country. This area is near Lake Mackay in
the Gibson Desert. Wilkinkarra is on the edge of the Western
Australian border with the Northern Territory. She is from
the Pintupi Language group, and also speaks the Warlpiri
language.
Dorothy
Napangardi is a winner of the 1st prize - Telstra National
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Award. Dorothy is
one of the most exciting and experimental artists to emerge
in the last decade. She has established a style of painting
that is winning her worldwide acclaim.
Guests will have the opportunity to view this new exhibition
and hear about the artists and their work. Art works will
be for sale and arrangements can be made for works to be
sent by post to your home.
Gallery Gondwana is located at 43 Todd Street, Alice Springs.
