Maku Tjuta - Many Witchetty Grubs: OPENING 8 MAY @ 6PM, ALL WELCOME
Forthcoming exhibition
Short St Gallery presents, Maku Tjuta - Many Witchetty Grubs, a powerful celebration of cultural knowledge, identity, and artistic expression, bringing together the voices of senior and emerging female artists from Anangu country.
At the heart of Maku Tjuta - Many Witchetty Grubs are significant paintings that share stories of Country, ceremony, and women’s law, expressed with striking colour, rhythmic mark-making, and deeply symbolic forms. Artists including Betty Campbell, Betty Mula, Tanya Umatji Tjapalyi, Pauline Wangin, Rhonda Young, Amy Yilpi, and Beverly Downs contribute individual works that reflect their personal connections to Anangu culture while remaining grounded in a shared lineage of storytelling and tradition.
Together the artists have further produced important collaborative paintings which embody the collective spirit of minyma inma (women's song) and ceremony. These collaborative works are created through a process of shared authorship, where knowledge is exchanged and preserved across generations. The resulting paintings resonate with unity and strength, capturing the essence of community and the enduring role of the artists as cultural custodians.
Short St Gallery invites you to join us on May 8 from 6-8 pm to open the exhibition, all are welcome. You can also access the exhibition via the gallery during opening hours or online 24/7. A catalogue can be obtained through enquiries@shortstgallery.com.
