Exhibition: 14 June – 24 August 2025
An ACMI touring exhibition, Two Girls from Amoonguna features new work by Arrernte and Southern Luritja artist Sally M Nangala Mulda and Western Arrarnta artist Marlene Rubuntja. This exhibition encompasses video, bush-dyed, hand-sewn soft sculptures and observationalist paintings, recounting their intertwining stories of friendship and resilience.
The centrepiece is an animated work titled Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka Kutjara, Two Girls. It delves into the reality of First Peoples’ experiences in Central Australia, chronicling the artists’ successes and struggles.
The exhibition is a beautiful, poignant and honest portrayal of community life and government control. Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka Kutjara, Two Girls was made in collaboration with Ludo Studio, the Emmy-award winning production company behind Bluey, Robbie Hood and The Strange Chores.
This is an Artbank+ ACMI co-commission.
