Tarnanthi - Piriyakutu

Iwiṟi Arts presents Piriyakutu, an exhibition drawing inspiration from the seasons. Piriyakutu is the time before Kuḻingka (the hot season), a time of warm spring winds in the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Inuntji-inuntji (blossoming) is the central theme of this exhibition, as it is a crucial indicator of seasonal change. Bush flowers are entangled in culture and everyday life, their blossom signifies the growth of plants for food and medicine. Iwiṟi artists express their connection to the APY landscape through bold, delicate colours and imagery characteristic of this warm windy season.
