Acrylic on Canvas, approximately 1.5x3m December 2008 This painting is a big, long story about reconciliation. It begins on the right hand side and travels through to the left. The big faces on the top and bottom of the first panel symbolize spirits that represent kuuti the eternal life force of the land. The land is their body. On the right hand side of the painting, the minyma (women) are teaching young kungka (girls) about language, law and culture. On the left hand side are the wati (men) teaching the young boys law and culture, and each are learning different aspects of Anangu culture. Some boys are shown about ngankari work they will become traditional healers, while others learn about protecting the land and water. This learning is passed on from the grandparents to the grandchildren tjamu kamiku tjukrupa. In the middle of the first panel, Anangu are coming together, and they are holding their culture, language, and all the knowledge of the land. People have been walking to come together here, from many places, each carrying their own stories and tjukurpa (Dreaming). This is represented by the green area in the painting. The Anangu standing in the middle are standing on top of all the precious minerals that they and the land share oil, platinum and gold. Some people are coming and going, this is them communicating their culture, and holding and protecting all the riches of the land. In the second central panel, Anangu are coming together after they have got manta (land) back from the government. Everyone, men, women and children, are participating in these meetings. People are walking to different communities and organizing everyone to come together. Ananguku are walking everywhere. They want to look after their country, and so they are organising the children to get to school, starting arts and crafts rooms, starting up the womens council and speaking about reconciliation. On the left hand side there are people standing and coming together, forming councils and committees. The third painting shows Anangu and piranpa (white people) working together towards reconciliation. At the top of the painting, Anangu and piranpa are standing and working together to form community, for example people working in the arts centres and shops. At the bottom is government, and the three feet are the help that has come from government to work together with Anangu health, education and the law. On the left is Anangu Chairpersons and on the right is the Anangu Executive Board, and the top is the Council. This panels shows everybody working together tjunguringanyi. As a traditional senior woman, Mantatjara holds the spirituality and wealth of traditional knowledge of her ancient culture. | |
