I am back this week from a two-week stint in Pipalyatjara Community, South Australia, which is approximately 700 km south west of Alice Springs, a few kilometres from the tri-state borders of the NT, SA and WA. Doumentary film maker and mentor David Wardell and myself were invited to Pipalyatjara by NPY Women’s Council to run film-making workshops for young people over the school holidays.

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.
