Dhigaraa galgaa baa – place of many birds
Penny Evans
Penny Evans draws on her Gomeroi heritage as she investigates issues of identity and colonisation through her ceramic works. For this solo exhibition, Evans – the People’s Choice winner of the 2016 Telstra National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards – has developed endearing sculptural dhigaraa (birds), which evoke her Country and respond to its desecration and exploitation through land clearing, mining and cotton farming.
Presented as part of Tarnanthi.

Walka Waru: Ninuku Kalawatjanga ungu painta
Warm Works: Ninuku painting inside glass
Ninuku Arts
This collaborative project explores new materials and forms, with artists who normally paint on canvas transferring their skills to glass for the first time. The artists at Ninuku Arts, in Kalka in the far northwest of South Australia, have painted their characteristically bold and colourful designs onto glass ‘starter bubbles’, which have then been blown into larger forms by JamFactory glass artists. The resulting works present ancestral stories in a striking new medium.
Artists: Jayanna Andy, Roxanne Carroll, Ruth Fatt, Marceena Jack, Vennita Lionel, Nicole Rupert, Anne Thompson, Marissa Thompson, and Rita Watson (other artists TBC David Miller, Carol Young and Katrina Connolley.
Presented as part of Tarnanthi.
