Art Centres
Tracks We Share is a journey of coming together, a collaboration between artists who have generously shared their stories.
“It feels good being an artist. I can start learning new things. Doing a lot of paintings and other stuff. Learn other stuff. I paint because I like it.”
“The Elders would get all the stories, they would put it in an artform … and share that as another interpreting of Yindjibarndi stories. We could put it in our books and documentaries, but we could also share this on canvas. The Elders, they prepared us for the future. They started Juluwarlu, they named it, they created the objectives of it, and it was to pass on the knowledge.”
“Big art centre, Martumili. The old people, they did this art centre. For everybody. For everyone. Doesn’t matter who’s not an artist or [is an] artist, it’s for everyone. And we keep our art centre strong, our old peoples really happy for our young ones working here. The oldies, they can get really happy, pukurlpa. And we, young people [who] work for art centre, we help our Elders, old people, you know.”
“If you’re Indigenous, no matter where you come from, you’re welcome to come to Spini and paint. We have lots of different artists from all over, and yeah, it’s just a good place to come and paint.”
“Yinjaa-Barni is working together, doing things together, you know, it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, at least your heart is in painting, and working together. We like to keep that spirit going, Yinjaa-Barni, you know and it’s always working together.”
