Alcaston Gallery presents Ngura Kunpu Kanyintjaku – Keeping Our Country Strong by Barbara Mbitjana Moore.

Recognised for her formidable command of paint on large-scale canvases, Moore uses bold designs and intense colour to represent variations in the landscape; powerful paintings depicting a bird’s eye perspective of her beloved Anmatyerre country and memories of place. She upholds the importance of keeping country and culture strong, and passing on cultural practice and knowledge to younger generations.
