Kaltjiti Arts is a community-based art centre in Fregon in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of South Australia. It is the heart of the small community and a place of inspiration, dynamism and cultural focus. Through its art, elders and senior artists teach younger generations about important cultural traditions and stories, passing on knowledge learned from their ancestors.
Piltari is a well known tjukurpa story of the two water serpents who live in the Piltari Rockhole with their two wives. This is Kani's family's country near Kanpi on the Anangu Pitjantjarjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands (APY Lands) in the far north South Australia.
"This is a story about two brothers and two sisters. The two 'watis' (brothers) - two water snakes, are at the Piltati rockhole waiting for two sisters. The two women had gone to find 'mai' (food), they were gone a long time and the men were hungry. They all live there in this rockhole". Underground water flows through these channels and the connected circles are places where the sisters travelled looking for bushtucker.
