Our Country, Our Ngura

Ngura is the Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, and Ngaanyatjarra word for ‘country.’ It describes the geography of the land and the place a person belongs to, encompassing family, language, identity, and history.

Aṉangu are the traditional custodians of this part of the Central Desert.

Walkatjara Art Uluru is the Mutitjulu Community’s Art Centre, owned and directed by Aṉangu. Most artists live and work in Mutitjulu, though many have family connections across the desert.
