Michael Reid Gallery: Apmer – home is land and land is home

Gallery Opening Hours: Mon – Sat 10am-5pm
Sun 10am–4pm

From the earliest days of our exhibition program, the Artists of Ampilatwatja have held a vital place at Michael Reid Southern Highlands. Working from their community on Alyawarr Country, approximately 320 kilometres north-east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), these artists produce intricately layered paintings grounded in deep knowledge of land, culture and continuity. Their works map waterholes, bush medicines, desert flora and ancestral pathways through luminous fields of colour, and are held in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia and the Holmes à Court Collection.

Apmer – home is land and land is home features the work of Rita Pitjara Beasley, Nancy Pitjara Frank, Beverly Pula Luck, Diane Kemarre Ross, Selina Pula Teece.
