Who are the Artists of the Barkly?
The Artists of the Barkly Collective represents over fifty Aboriginal artists living in five remote communities across the Barkly region: Mungkarta, Kulumindini (Elliott), Owairtilla (Canteen Creek), Tennant Creek and Wutunugurra (Epenarra). The Collective includes seven language groups; Alyawarr, Kaytetye, Mudburra, Jingili, Waramungu, Warlpiri and Warlmanpa.
The Artists of the Barkly employ contemporary mediums to celebrate and preserve ancient cultures and languages. The vast breadth of variety in work made across the Collective reflects its cultural diversity, whilst shared elements of visual language illustrate the role of art centres in multi-generational knowledge-sharing.
The Collective is facilitated by Barkly Regional Arts, a not-for-profit multi-disciplinary art centre based on Waramungu Country. Barkly Regional Arts collaborates with remote Indigenous communities to foster access, development, and recognition of arts in the Barkly.
Featured artists
Julie Pwerl Beasley
"Epenarra artists paint many things. We paint the landscape and the bush tucker and bush medicines. When we go hunting, we see the landscape and we paint the Country around us."
Annette Nungala Peterson
"I paint out in the Country where it’s busy. Mail plane, flying doctors, army, mining mob, you might see anyone. This is the outback."
Aileen Napaljarri Long
"We grew up on bush food, kanga berry, bush potato, I paint bush tuckers because I like to go out and collect them, sit out with the crowbar and dig the potato. And eat them, it's a nice taste."
Pammy Kemarr Foster
"I like to learn more about my Country, my grandmother's Country. Painting is the way of learning. I do painting with bush flowers and bush medicine. When I go hunting I see bush flowers bloom with lots of colours and it looks real good on canvas."
