AVCAL 2005 Charity Fund Raiser
About the painting This painting depicts designs associated with Women’s Ceremonies at the rockhole and soakage water site of Ngaminya, just to the south-west of the Kiwirrkura Community. A group of women gathered at the site to perform the dances and sing the songs associated with the area. They also gathered the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale. About the Centralian and Western Desert Aboriginal Paintings http://www.papunyatula.com.au/ About Ningura Napurrula Ningura Napurrula was born at Watulka, south of the Kiwirrkura Community, circa 1938. She married Yala Yala Gibbs Tjungurrayi and together with their young son Morris they went to the Papunya Community after meeting up with Jeremy Long during one of his Welfare Patrols. In 1999, Ningura contributed to the Kintore women’s painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis appeal. Later in 2003 she was chosen along with four other Papunya Tula Artists to have one of her paintings represented on an Australia Post international stamp. In 2004 Ningura was one of eight Aboriginal artists selected to have an example of their work incorporated into the architecture of the Mussed du quai Branly in Paris. This Museum is due to open in early 2006, and will house the French collection of art from Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Americas.
