Ernabella Arts (Pukatja), on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands of South Australia, is Australia’s oldest, continuously running First Nations art centre.

Established in 1948, a key element of this longevity is the passing down of cultural knowledge from older artists and family members to the younger generations. For Tarnanthi 2021, early-career, emerging and established artists present paintings and works in diverse media that highlight connections and knowledge-sharing between old and young.

Their work delves into the female human condition, attempting to present the female voice so often erased from the Art Historical canon.
