Reprising the bold visual language of iconic 80s protest posters to speak to issues that face us today, this work is one from a series of five screenprints, protesting climate change and its impact on the desert.
‘First Nations people are the first and will be the worst effected with fracking and the mismanagement of precious water resources - just two of many impending catastrophes. Made using artwork generated in Mparntwe in a series of workshops, all proceeds from sales will go directly to collaborating Town Camp Artists.’ Thea Anamara Perkins
Thea Anamara Perkins is an Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist whose practice incorporates portraiture and landscape to question representations of First Nations peoples and Country. With a delicate hand, Thea answers heavy questions about what it means to be First Nations and interrogates contemporary portrayal. Stella McMillan is an Eastern Arrernte woman, born in Santa Teresa and now living in Ewyenper Atwatye (Hidden Valley Town Camp). Stella has been a member of Tangentyere Artists since 2015. Our Land, Our Future features McMillan’s daughter Erika Armstrong holding her granddaughter Shenika Armstrong McMillan.
