It’s all quiet at Ngapartji Ngapartji HQ with everyone away apart from myself and even I left work half way through last week with the flu. Thankfully Lorna is in Alice for a couple of months and will be coming in to do some casual work with us while she’s here.
Prior to last week Batesy and myself had been invited out west to Kiwirrikurra by NPY Women’s Council to do some video-making workshops during the WA school holidays. Kiwirrikurra is a Pintubi/Luritja-speaking community 750kms from Alice, in Western Australia. Not being a Pitjantjatjara-speaking community (though there are families with connections down through Docker River, Warakurna and Tjukurla) the trip was a bit of an exception which coincided with a lot of the young people we work with in town heading to Docker for the football. A group of young women from Kiwirrikurra had expressed an interest in video-making to NPY during the annual Kungka Careers conference at Yulara recently and apparently had a storyline waiting to go. |

Wai, palya? It's been a time of catching up - report writing, grant writing and planning for the next 6 months when the project will be primarily concentrated in Alice Springs as we take time out from touring. Last weekend was the Alice Springs show so lots of visitors in town from communities and 'Territory Day', which meant a public holiday last Friday, seemed to extend itself for most of the weekend with firecrackers going off all weekend.

Wai anangu tjuta! The team is back from a whirlwind tour which took the language show or boutique version of the show to the Dreaming Festival in Woodford, Queensland and on to the Adelaide Cabaret Festival. Though the journey to Woodford took us over 12 hours, our arrival on site - punctuated by the bus from the airport to the site getting bogged in the mud from days of torrential rain - we arrived to a cozy camp set up by our malpa tjuta Ajita, Valerie and Rosemary, with meals awaiting us. So set the scene for the next few days as the weather cleared and the festival cranked up, the 17 of us who went always assured of a good feed at the ‘Ngapartji café’ thanks to our awesome support team who were later joined by Lorna’s husband Mark. |
