NGINTAKA TJUKURPA LIGHTS UP SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

"I have done this painting for my father's country. The place called Mutinka, where my father was born. When my grandson grows up he can have this story. This is my father's place, not somebody else's place" - Yadjidta David Miller.

At 5.20am on 26 January 2022, an artwork by Pitjantjatjara Artist David Miller was projected onto the Sydney Opera House. This artwork tells the story of the song line of the Wati Ngintaka (the giant perentie lizard man) as he searches for a special grindstone, creating waterholes and food sources in his travels.
