QGC ‘Artoriginal’ Exhibition – Ngurratjuta artworks on display during the Beyond Billabong Foundation fundraiser in QLD
QGC – A BG Group business, in partnership with Gilkerson Legal, Shadforth Financial Group and the Indigenous Lawyers Association of Queensland will display watercolour landscapes and dot paintings from Ngurratjuta Many Hands Art Centre during their QGC ‘Artoriginal’ Exhibition in late October.
The aim of the exhibition is to showcase Aboriginal artists and to raise funds for the Beyond Billabong Foundation. All artwork displayed will be available for purchase.
At the age of eight years, in 1945, Linda walked out of the desert with her family, East to Haasts Bluff Lutheran mission, to the East of Pintubi country. They have been encouraged to do this by the ‘king’ of the Pintubi people Nosepeg Tjupurrula, and Linda’s step father Shorty Lungkarta (blue tongue lizard). Both these men had knowledge of the ‘white-fella’ world. The first obstacle they encountered were the high sand hills, which run in a north-south direction and are covered in grass, bushes and trees.
