Having opened on 8 July in celebration of NAIDOC week with a Welcome to Country by Marcia McGuire-Brownley (see pictures left), this collaborative exhibition between Artitja Fine Art and the City of Perth highlights the importance of country through imagery and storytelling. A visual exploration of complex stories around the geography of the land and narratives associated with different times, this exhibition has been sourced by Artitja Fine Art Gallery from some of the most remote and established Aboriginal art centres throughout Western Australia.
With over 40 artists from regions as distant as Kalumburu and Balgo in the Kimberley, to the Pilbara and Tjukurlu in the western desert and Kalka on the WA/SA/NT border, the exhibition gives an insight into the cultural importance of place and story.
The exhibition also incorporates the WA launch of the Indigenous Jewellery Project, Australia’s first and only National Indigenous Contemporary Jewellery project.
OUR LAND : OUR PLACE can be viewed Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm on the Ground Floor foyer of Perth’s iconic Council House, 27 St George’s Tce, Perth. (Opposite the Como Hotel/Old Treasury building)

NINUKU ARTS Ninuku Arts is a wholly-Indigenous owned and governed Art Centre which supports artists from two communities Pipalyatjara and Kalka. Each have populations of around 100-150 Anangu and the majority are Pitjantjatjara speakers – Anangu simply means ‘people’ in Pitjantjatjara. Both communities are located in the far north-western corner of South Australia, near the tri-state border of South Australia, Western Australia and Northern Territory. The two communities, fourteen kilometres apart, are surrounded by the rolling, rocky hills of the Tomkinson Ranges and are part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Both Kalka and Pipalyatjara are peaceful places. This is a result of strong governance, cultural engagement and pride among local Anangu. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

TJARLIRLI ARTS Tjarlirli Art Centre represents the artists of Tjukurla in the Ngannyatjarra lands of Western Australia and Kaltukatjara in the Northern Territory.

As the primary business venture in Tjukurla focusing on Indigenous people, Tjarlirli Art is providing much needed income and employment in this remote town of approximately 40 people.

In 2019 Artitja Fine Art (AFA) proudly celebrates its 15th birthday as one of Perth’s most reputable and accessible indigenous art galleries. Launched on the 19th March, 2004 at the Royal George Gallery in East Fremantle, the gallery’s innovative operating model of holding quarterly ‘satellite’ shows in a variety of exhibition spaces has contributed to its success. In between exhibitions Artitja Fine Art operates by appointment at its South Fremantle base. This flexibility gives owners Anna and Arthur the opportunity for essential visits to remote art centre communities; and a personalised service to current and prospective clients and lovers of Aboriginal Art. In 2016 Artitja Fine Art were the recipients of the Corporate Social Responsibility Award, and in 2017 received the Outstanding Cultural Enterprise Award at the Fremantle Business Awards. Both awards were from a strong field of worthy finalists. “In keeping with a global trend to use art to bring people from different cultures together, our aim and driving force has always been to make connections between city dwellers and remote Indigenous communities. It is a great privilege to have an entry into the lives and the stories of Aboriginal artists in some of the remotest communities in Australia, and be able to extend our experience and knowledge to our local community as well as passionate followers in Melbourne and Sydney, all of whom who are eager to learn more about our First Nations people.” Director, Anna Kanaris
