Education Resources
The education resources developed by the Art Gallery of South Australia highlight a selection of artists who feature in Kungka Kuṉpu (Strong Women). These learning resources are designed to support student learning both in the classroom and in the exhibition space.
Glossary
The glossary was first developed and published as part of the Kuḻaṯa Tjuṯa Project, a long-running cultural maintenance project and series of exhibitions by artists from the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in South Australia.
Far from encyclopedic, the selection of words focus specifically on Anangu women, their roles, Country, and the plants and animals that share Country with Anangu. As with language, this glossary will continue to evolve over the course of the exhibition tour.
