Two Girls From Amoonguna

Featuring new work by Arrernte and Southern Luritja artist Sally M Nangala Mulda and Western Arrarnta artist Marlene Rubuntja.

It recounts their intertwining stories of friendship and resilience in the Central Desert. Encompassing video, soft sculptures, and paintings, the centerpiece animation, Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka Kutjara, Two Girls, was made in collaboration with Ludo Studio (Bluey, Robin Hood, and The Strange Chores).

Sally and Marlene’s practice is representative of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), where they live. Playful, self-referential, and humorous, their work embodies the politics, history, and culture of Mparntwe and its surrounding town camps.

Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka Kutjara, Two Girls was made in collaboration with Ludo Studio, the Emmy-award winning production company behind Bluey, Robbie Hood, and The Strange Chores, and is an Artbank +ACMI co-commission.

An ACMI touring exhibition.
