ERNABELLA CULTURE CAMP

Ernabella Arts, Pukatja APY LANDS

July 2024

Ku Arts hosted two impactful cultural camps in collaboration with Ernabella Arts, that brought together artists and community members. At Wamikata Sand dune, participants engaged in traditional practices such as cooking, weaving, painting, and Inma (performing songs and dances), deepening their connection to culture. The Christmas Tree Hill retreat provided a peaceful environment where artists could reflect, rejuvenate, and enhance their creative work. These camps revitalised cultural ties and inspired new artistic expressions. In response to their success, Ernabella Arts has now established a regular Wamikata day to ensure these positive outcomes continue to benefit the community.

This program has been funded by the Strengthening Our Culture Community Grants Program, which is delivered by Preventive Health SA, Aboriginal Heath Promotion team.
