    YUKULTJI NAPANGATI - PINTUPI Represented by Utopia Art Sydney 983 Bourke St, Waterloo NSW 2017 Tel: 61 2 9319 6437 utopiaartsydney.com.au [email protected] Yukultji Napangati is a rising star of the Papunya Tula Artists. She first came to the notice of a wider audience through her inclusion in the 2005 Primavera exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Australia. She is renowned for her shimmering surfaces and subtle use of colour, however, as an artist, she continues to explore all possibilities. Born circa 1971 near Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay), “Yukultji was still a young girl when her family group came out of the desert into Kiwirrkurra in 1984, making national headlines as the ‘last’ of the desert nomads to make ‘first contact’” (Vivien Johnson, 2008). Yukultji began painting for Papunya Tula Artists in 1996. Her work is included in significant public and private collections, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Hood Museum of Art, USA. Yukultji won the Wynne Prize at the AGNSW in 2018.

  • Outstations Through Art: Acrylic Painting, Self‑Determination and the History of the Homelands Movement in the Pintupi‑Ngaanyatjarra Lands Peter Thorley1
    8 Outstations through art: Acrylic painting, self-determination and the history of the homelands movement in the Pintupi-Ngaanyatjarra Lands Peter Thorley1 Australia in the 1970s saw sweeping changes in Indigenous policy. In its first year of what was to become a famously short term in office, the Whitlam Government began to undertake a range of initiatives to implement its new policy agenda, which became known as ‘self-determination’. The broad aim of the policy was to allow Indigenous Australians to exercise greater choice over their lives. One of the new measures was the decentralisation of government-run settlements in favour of smaller, less aggregated Indigenous-run communities or outstations. Under the previous policy of ‘assimilation’, living arrangements in government settlements in the Northern Territory were strictly managed 1 I would like to acknowledge the people of the communities of Kintore, Kiwirrkura and Warakurna for their assistance and guidance. I am especially grateful to Monica Nangala Robinson and Irene Nangala, with whom I have worked closely over a number of years and who provided insights and helped facilitate consultations. I have particularly enjoyed the camaraderie of my fellow researchers Fred Myers and Pip Deveson since we began working on an edited version of Ian Dunlop’s 1974 Yayayi footage for the National Museum of Australia’s Papunya Painting exhibition in 2007. Staff of Papunya Tula Artists, Warakurna Artists, Warlungurru School and the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tutaku (Purple House) have been welcoming and have given generously of their time and resources. This chapter has benefited from discussion with Bob Edwards, Vivien Johnson and Kate Khan.

  • "Ice Dreaming" by Charlie Tjaruru Tjungarrayi by Abigail Connelly
    Ice Dreaming, c. 1971 1996.0002.006 Charlie Tjaruru Tjungurrayi (1925-99) Pintupi language group, Kintore ranges Synthetic polymer on Masonite Written by Abigail Connelly In this painting, seven concentric circles are connected by curved black lines, some of which are outlined with a layer of red paint on one or both sides. Clusters of white dots adorn the background of the painting. The artist began with a layer of red paint as a base, followed by black, white, and then another layer of red. The earthy tones illustrated in this work are also represented in a majority of other Western Desert works from this period. The dawn of the Papunya Tula Art Movement was centered around a group of male artists, guided by Geoffrey Bardon. Bardon commissioned a variety of pieces, including at least five known works titled Ice Dreaming painted by Charlie Tjaruru. This is the first Ice Dreaming he painted and is the 82nd painting in the artist’s collective portfolio. John W. Kluge purchased this work from Museum Art International in 1996 and donated the work to the University of Virginia in 1997. Upon close inspection, this work has been attributed to Charlie Tjaruru Tjungurrayi (1925-99), whose name is also commonly spelled as Taruru, Tarawa, Wadama and Watuma. Tjaruru was born at Tjitururrnga, near Kintore in the Northern Territory, to parents Nuulyngu Tjapaltjarri and Karntintjungulnyu Nakamarra. His family was among some of the first people to move to the Haasts Bluff area, an area that housed a prominent Lutheran ration station run by missionaries. Charlie Tjaruru was given the name “Charlie” by Dr.

  • Fathers and Sons, Trajectories of Self Refl Ections on Pintupi Lives and Futures Fred R
    !!!CHAPTER 4 Fathers and Sons, Trajectories of Self Refl ections on Pintupi Lives and Futures Fred R. Myers Totemism ‘as a social institution is a defense organized against separation anxiety’ (Róheim 1945a: 249). Questions about childhood in Indigenous Australian communities have become very signifi cant politically, but – with some exceptions – an- thropologists have not developed the ethnography of childhood as one might have imagined. What this would involve, I have often thought, is a much greater attention to the interactions and communicative practices (linguistic and otherwise) between children and caregivers as well as among children themselves (see Ochs and Schieffelin 1984; Schieffelin 1990). I always wished I had been able to do this with the attention it de- served, because the general models of childhood and socialization that have been developed (of nurturance, autonomy, and so on) – however appropriately drawn from Indigenous theories of personhood – do not engage with the range of practices and subtleties of variations that must exist and which inform actual histories of socialization.1 As signifi cantly, I believe, the questions we sought to ask were not as theoretically elabo- rated as they needed to be in order to generate the empirical materials for understanding how children become adult persons. I believe that the recent work of the editor of this volume makes important contributions to reestablishing the questions that should be asked about childhood. With these caveats, my own contribution is surely more speculative than I would like, but my interest lies in the development of ‘sociality’ in Western Desert Indigenous subjects and the relationship of this sociality to what I would call, with the existential psychiatrists, ‘ontological secu- rity’.
