Two Girls From Amoonguna is an exhibition featuring new work by Arrernte and Southern Luritja artist Sally M Nangala Mulda and Western Arrarnta artist Marlene Rubuntja. It recounts their intertwining stories of friendship and resilience in the Central Desert.

Encompassing video, soft sculptures, and paintings, the centerpiece animation, Arrkutja Tharra, Kungka Kutjara, Two Girls, was made in collaboration with Ludo Studio (Bluey, Robin Hood, and The Strange Chores).

Sally and Marlene’s practice is representative of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), where they live. Playful, self-referential, and humorous, their work embodies the politics, history, and culture of Mparntwe and its surrounding town camps.
An ACMI touring exhibition.

Quote from Curator Jenna Rain Warwick (Luritja)

“Two Girls from Amoonguna is an exhibition I’m extremely proud to have curated. Sally M Nangala Mulda and Marlene Rubuntja are accomplished artists and seeing their work brought to life by Ludo was remarkable. Their work speaks to the activist spirit that First People artists hold within them".
