Tjukurpa Kunpu Mulapa

Mail bags used to deliver mail to remote locations have been repurposed as a painting canvas and suspending by a hand carved kulata (spear), the artist states: These are land rights paintings. I’m making these paintings and writing in Pitjantjatjara so people can see, and they can know; our Tjukurpa (Law and Culture) and our manta (land) are still strong, nganampa wangka (our language) is still alive.
