The community of Mimili is in the far north west of South Australia, at the base of the Everard Ranges, in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. It is 645km south of Alice Springs which is the nearest large town.
Mimili is home to 350 Anangu people who speak a mix of Yankunytjatjara, Pitjantjatjara, Ngaanyatjarra and Luritja.
As with much of the APY region, the work from Mimili Maku is diverse, representing a range of stories and styles. From the colourful paintings of Willy Martin, to the fine lines and detailed implementation of Robert Fielding. Ngupulya Pumani, is known for her celebrated ephemeral shimmer, also seen somewhat in younger sister Betty Pumani’s work, who uses a limited palette and bold spatial relationships to great effect.
This exhibition of magnificent paintings was created in Mimili Maku’s brand new art centre building and celebrates this art centre’s bright future.
