Alcaston Gallery is proud to present new paintings by senior artists and respected elders Peter Mungkuri OAM and Alec Baker in Nganana Ngura Nganampa Ninti – We Know Our Country Well.

Nganana Ngura Nganampa Ninti – We Know Our Country Well showcases the immense knowledge of Country, culture, and history held by these two important senior men, both of whom were actively involved in the land rights movement for their ancestral Country and campaigned for the return of land ownership to the Yankunytjatjara and Pitjantjatjara peoples.

Accentuating each artists’ distinctive style, this collection conveys the unparalleled reverence and profound understanding Baker and Mungkuri have for their Country, and the broader Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands of Central Australia.
