Australia Week: Pepai and Milyika Carroll on Tjukurpa in Anangu Art

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an interview with Pepai and Milyika Carroll. The Carrolls are accomplished ceramic artists and painters who work at the Ernabella Arts Center. A core part of the Pukatja Community, the art center is nestled into the eastern end of the Musgrave Ranges of South Australia. Established in 1948, Ernabella Arts is Australia’s oldest continuously running Indigenous Art Center. In the interview we talk about Ernabella history and the role Tjukurpa, or story/cultural law, plays in the creation of Anangu art.
