Senior Anangu elder and “deep culture woman” Tjunkaya Tapaya OAM (1947-2025) was one of the most accomplished artists associated with Australia’s longest-running and highly acclaimed Aboriginal Art Centre, Ernabella Arts.
This exhibition showcases a selection of artworks made in the final years of Tapaya’s life, highlighting her confidence as a creator and storyteller alongside the purpose and passion inherent to her practice. Nyuyuntja features works across ceramics, batik, painting and tjanpi weaving. Central to the exhibition is a significant new artwork honouring the Kunkarungkalpa Tjukurpa (Seven Sisters creation story).
