This week we congratulate Creative Producer Alex Kelly who today in Sydney is being awarded the Kirk Robson award, which recognises outstanding leadership in community cultural development demonstrated by the young artist, who died in 2005. Congratulations also to Ngapartji Ngapartji choir member Makinti Minutjukur, who has been selected to participate in the ‘Options for the Future of Indigenous Australia’ topic of the 2020 Summit, initiated by the Prime Minister to ‘bring together Australia’s best and brightest’ to discuss future issues for Australia.

We’ve been an industrious place these past two weeks with young people and their families coming in most days keen to catch up, flick through the Sydney photographs and participate in the new Learning thread of the Ngapartji Ngapartji project. Some of the young people who went to Sydney, and others interested and visiting from Docker River and Mutitjulu, have begun some projects using the enormous amount of photo images we have of that tour, and others (Check out the gallery for more photos of Sydney.) The walls are starting to fill up with drawings and laminated comic pages created from photos and writing about Ngapartji Ngapartji people and activities.
And in the ‘ngapartji ngapartji’ way, we’re acknowledging that the learning here is two-way, be it Pitjantjatjara or English, so that ‘learning notes’ are appearing all over the Alice office. Whenever any one learns something, whether it’s a new word or expression in Pitjantjatjara, how to spell an English one, or a grammar or maths rule, we jot it down on a sticky note and put it on the wall to share. Along with the comics, these look fantastic, and its inspirational to see the young people so keen to learn in this way.

Slowly but reassuredly we are winding down from the frenetic and full start to the New Year with a season at the Sydney Festival which saw 9500 people watch the show over the 4 weeks and many a glowing review.
On the inside, such a tour means the support and management of a mobile community who are away from home and country living in a way most of us are unaccustomed. The company which makes up the Ngapartji Ngapartji show literally come from all over the country. This work is demanding and this, our longest tour, was exhausting for many of us. As such it feels important to acknowledge the numerous Big hART members, volunteers and audiences who supported us through this season.
