Event description
APY Gallery Adelaide presents Ngura ngayuku – My Home, a solo exhibition of works by Adelaide Studio artist Sandra Pumani alongside the group exhibition, Walka Tjuta Walytjarara Walytjarara – Family Colours.
Sandra Pumani's paintings depict the country, near Mimili community. There's a lot of places around Mimili that hold important stories for Sandra and her family and Sandra is sharing these stories through her work.
"I grew up in Mimili with my grandparents and mum. My grandmother, Milatjari Pumani, taught me so much. I walked to all of these important places with her. She would show me where to find the rock holes, what to find to eat to survive out there, where the water was... everything. It's important for us to teach the kids our storylines; and my paintings are to teach."
Walka Tjuta Walytjarara Walytjarara – Family Colours, is a group exhibition featuring artists from the APY Studio Adelaide including, Lisa Khan, Margaret Richards, Yaritji Heffernan Caseyanne Woods, Jane Russell and Megan Lyons. The exhibition celebrates the bold, bright hues and vibrant paintings that APY artists have become renowned for.
