Ngununggula, the Southern Highlands regional art gallery, has opened a major all-women exhibition titled 'Old Days, New Days | Arlta-imankinya, Arlta-errama.' The show features works from artists associated with Tangentyere Artists and Yarrenyty Arltere Artists, alongside celebrated artist Thea Anamara Perkins. It includes paintings, sculptures, video, textiles, and works on paper, exploring the role of women in family and community life across generations, and will be on view until June 14.
The exhibition is part of Ngununggula's annual Artist's Circle initiative, which since 2022 has been dedicated to enhancing the visibility of Australian women artists. It highlights communal art-making practices like gathering, weaving, and storytelling, positioning art as a process shaped by relationships and care. The collaboration underscores the importance of creating spaces for Indigenous storytelling and representation on the artists' own terms.
