WHATS ON AT YARRA?
Two Girls From Amoonguna is an exhibition featuring
new work by Arrernte and Southern Luritja artist
Sally M Nangala Mulda and Western Arrarnta artist
Marlene Rubuntja. It recounts their intertwining stories
of friendship and resilience in the Central Desert.
Encompassing video, soft sculptures, and paintings,
the centerpiece animation, Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka
Kutjara, Two Girls, was made in collaboration with
Ludo Studio (Bluey, Robin Hood, and The Strange
Chores). Sally and Marlene’s practice is representative
of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), where they live. Playful,
self-referential, and humorous, their work embodies
the politics, history, and culture of Mparntwe and its
surrounding town camps.
An ACMI touring exhibition.
This project has been assisted by the Australian
Government’s Visions of Australia program.

Sorry for any inconvenience, and thank you for your understanding
You are invited to Mother Spirit Women’s Gathering at Yarrawarra,
to Connect with other Women for our collective strength and well-being <3
Together we are powerful, we lift each other up,
stand with one another and lend strength
We are living in times of great change
Surviving adversity and coming out stronger on the other side
And slowly we are starting to remember the power we wield and the magic we create when we come together.
To dance, to sing, to create and connect
Connect to nature, to one another,
and to the deepest parts of our true selves
Come out to Mother Spirit and relax in the dappled shade of the trees,
eat some good wholesome food,
weave a basket, stomp your feet,
dance around the fire or sit and yarn with someone new
This event is for women only and those who identify as women,
We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding in this, and in providing a safe and welcome space for everyone
The event is FREE though registering for the event will help us to get funding for more free community events like this in the future,
so we appreciate it if you registered <3

Come and join our weavers in this Happy Gathering Place under the shade of the big gums and learn the art of basketry from Gumbaynggirr weaver Lilly Clegg

“There’s magic in gathering in nature to create. No matter where you come from in the world, we all have ancestors who sat together under the trees and wove baskets, and this is something that connects us to them and to each other
In this space we begin to remember, and it feels so right” Lilly Clegg
