10–27 September

The word Nintiri means guiding, leading along.
In Amata, the artists of Tjala paint Country as both place and story. Their works carry the presence of ancestral lands, Tjukurpa and generations of knowledge, connecting what has come before with what lies ahead.
Through this painting and sharing of Tjukurpa, these artists continue to guide, teach and strengthen culture for those who follow. In this, Nintiri is a movement between past and future–looking back to Country, drawing on embedded knowledge, and leading a path forward.
In Nintiri the paintings are big, bold, and full of colour, and so are their stories, featuring the work of Amy Scotty, Barbara Mbitjana Moore, Christy Young, Cynthia Charra, Helen Curtis, Maringka Tunkin, Marissa Munti, Naomi Kantjuriny, Rebecca Lawson, Sharon Ken and Tanya Burton.
Nintiri is prouldy presented in association with Tjala Arts.
Join us on Friday 11 September to celebrate the opening of Nintiri (6–8PM).
