Explications pour cette peinture d'art Aborigène :
When I paint, it’s like inma (ceremonial dance and song). This is Antara, a sacred place for Anangu, and the Maku (witchetty grub) Tjukurpa. There’s a special rock hole at Antara where women perform inma – ‘inmaku pakani’ – and afterwards there’s enough maku to feed everyone. Antara and Maku Tjukurpa is really important for Mimili women, we paint this place and its stories, keeping them strong.
