Nganampa Ngura - Our places Post Office Projects proudly presents a group exhibition created in partnership with fellow Port Adelaide contemporary arts organisation Iwiṟi Arts. Featuring paintings and ceramics, ‘Nganampa Ngura - Our places’ is a celebration of collaboration, country, community and culture.

“Nganaṉa painting nyangangka nganaṉa nganampa ngura kutju paintamilalpai nganampa kulintjanguṟu.” - Audrey Brumby, Iwiṟi Arts Studio Artist.

“In our paintings, we are always painting about our own Country. Our places. We are painting as an expression of our own identity.”

Since its inception in 2021 Iwiṟi Art Studio has rapidly established itself as a highly regarded Studio. Iwiṟi creates a space for artistic expression that promotes cultural retention, transmission and wellbeing across the generations while also providing Aṉangu artists with commercial opportunities to produce economic benefit for their family and community.

Celebrating powerful Aboriginal women from regional South Australia.

Grounded in deep listening and cultural practice, Tjukurpa Kunpu tells stories of connection - to Tjukurpa, to each other, and to Country. These thirteen artists are connected from many places across regional South Australia, each of them with deep personal connections to curator Marli Macumba.

Marli Macumba is a Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Arrernte, and Gurindji artist and emerging curator. A Ku Arts First Nations Curators Program Alumni, Marli continues to illustrate her steadfast commitment to elevating First Nations voices through her curatorial practice with her solo curatorial debut, Tjukurpa Kunpu.

With a strong focus on her home community in Port Augusta, she continues to champion opportunities for local artists to share their stories, celebrate culture, and strengthen intergenerational connections. This exhibition will reflect Marli’s evolving curatorial vision, one that centres community, culture, and Country.
