Ngura Pulka: A Triumph of Indigenous Art - After a tumultuous journey, the Ngura Pulka exhibition opens at the National Gallery of Australia, featuring 31 major paintings by 52 Central Australian artists. The exhibition, initially set for 2023, faced controversy over allegations of white art workers meddling with Indigenous creations, dubbed the white hands on black art scandal. The APY Art Centre Collective fought back, denying the allegations and facing probes from the state government, Indigenous regulators, and watchdogs. Despite the drama, which cost them a $1.4 million deal and got them dropped from the Indigenous Art Code, investigations cleared the exhibition, confirming artists maintained full creative control. The exhibition, now with 6 fresh large-scale pieces, opens this Saturday and runs through August 23rd, showcasing the power of these stories straight from the land.
