Farewell to Pukatja! The last piece of music to be captured by the incredibly popular Kane Hall based recording studio was four hours of a live concert featuring many of the musicians who have been laying their tracks down over our three and a half week stay. Over a hundred Pukatja kids and adults shook their mana-s surrounded by the halls wonderous day-glow designs and the sweet desert reggae sounds. Thanks to all the musicians - Mervin, Chriswell, Winmati, Clarence, Sandy, Phillip, Jacob, Wanyima, Lachlin, Jamie, Mawatji, many more, and Joseph Tapaya, who also gave us a lovely thank-you speech. |

Greetings from Pukatja in South Australia, home to many of the minyma (women) who have graced the stage for the Ngapartji Ngapartji show over the past year with their soulful harmonies as well as a number of young people who have taken part in video making for many of the movies you see on the website. For the past two weeks Ngapartji Ngapartji have set up camp here with a mobile recording studio running from the school hall, facilitated by audio engineer Steve Fraser from Melbourne and artsworker/Ngapartji Ngapartji Choir Coordinator Beth Sometimes who’ve been working long hours to cater to the enthusiasm of a community with a rich tradition of inma (song) and music that both young people and old are keen to record. Pantjiti Lewis, Dani, Roxanne, Beth, Rhoda, Steve and Arlo

There's been a little discussion about shifting focus from creating discreet workshops in town to finding points of community engagement in the myriad events and work that we have before us. This week we mapped out the next 18 months of the project and were excited and overwhelmed at how much we have on our communal plate, including the production of a documentary, upcoming filmmaking workshops in Ernabella in July and the SA/NT tour in September/October. We received funding through the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) to develop a mobile gallery to house and share the images and text produced by project participants throughout the project and started the first of a series of workshops in the newly renovated community building in Abbott's camp. And long-term project participant and established watercolour artist Elton Wirri flew to Melbourne last week to co-present with Company Director Scott Rankin at the Deakin Lectures.

In a faded blue T-shirt and jeans, Trevor Jamieson flashes on to the
computer screen, swatting flies from his face as he welcomes
participants to Ngapartji Ngapartji's online community.
He is framed in a desert scene, the sun beating on his back as he
acknowledges the native landowners upon whose land he stands, flitting
between his indigenous tongue, Pitjantjatjara, and English.
