Marlene Nampitjinpa and John West Tjupurrula are two members of the next generation of Papunya Tula artists, and they’re traveling all the way from Australia to share their perspectives on the exhibition Irriṯitja Kuwarri Tjungu! Joining them are Nici Cumpston (Director of the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection at the University of Virginia), Henry Skerritt (Assistant Professor of Art History at the University of Virginia), Isaac King (Curator at the BYU Museum of Art), and you!
At this one-of-a-kind event, you’ll get to meet the artists carrying on this incredible art movement, hear their community’s stories first hand, and ask them questions about their art and careers! This event is free and open to everyone. Light refreshments will be served.
