Thipe-akerte (About Birds) Exhibition Opening

Join us for the opening of Thipe-akerte (About Birds), an exhibition celebrating the life and work of Theresa Rvder - esteemed Eastern Arrernte artist, writer, educator, linguist and cultural leader from Lytente Apurte.

Theresa was well known for her watercolours, in particular her Eastern MacDonnell Ranges landscapes, with her work acquired by major art collections throughout Australia. She was also passionate about language and passing on culture to younger generations. This exhibition features the original artworks and cultural teachings from her book "Ayeye thipe-akerte: Arrernte stories about birds", as well as bird inspired works by her family, including sculptures by Harry Hayes and paintings by Marie Ryder.

Before her passing in 2023, Theresa expressed the wish to exhibit these works, and through this exhibition her family hopes to continue her legacy of strengthening Arrernte language, culture and connection to Country.

In collaboration with Children's Ground & presented as a Desert Mob Satellite event.
