Langauges: Alyawarre ● Community: Ampilatwatja
Ampilatwatja is situated 320 km northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory and has a population of about 500. The Artists of Ampilatwatja Art Centre was established in 1999. Since its creation, the art produced from this art centre has been recognisably distinct of the region. Most of the artists from Ampilatwatja paint “arreth” which translates to “strong bush medicine”. Fine dots and figurative depictions of the land give insight into the significance and ongoing use of traditional bush medicine. The land has provided and sustained the Alyawarr people for generations and Akwerlp Alpeyt Art Centre is a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness between plant, land, animal, and people.
