Greetings from Pukatja
Thursday, 11 October 2007

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

New Lesson up!
Tuesday, 18 September 2007
Wai to all of you out there and thanks for your patience. We are happy to tell you that ngananatju lesson Mamu Nguraritjanyatjara websitengka ngaratjunu. Nyakukatilta! (We have put a new lesson on to the website called “Mamu nguraritja”. So check it out!). While you’re there check out the Gallery too. Batesy has helped Belinda put up some of the photos we've taken of bush trips and other Ngapartji Ngapartji activities.

The short film in the lesson was shot and directed by young women in Docker River earlier this year (and features Julie Miller and Maureen Watson, both of whom performed at the Dreaming Festival earlier this year). It’s one of many ‘mamu’ films which are an emerging genre in Central Desert youth film making! Though when the language and culture reference group saw this film they hatched plans to make their own mamu movie. So stay tuned….
