Story: Indigenous Art at Uluru
Presenter: Stevie Jacobs

Stevie visits the Gallery of Central Australia, where art tells ancient stories, with authentic works made by talented local artists.

• Central Australia boasts a unique landscape and rich cultural heritage, making it home to some of the most vibrant Indigenous art globally.
• Indigenous art from this region represents more than visual beauty; it embodies the ancient stories, traditions, and spiritual connections of Australia’s First Nations people.
• The Gallery of Central Australia at Ayers Rock Resort features a curated collection of local paintings from renowned artists, serving as a hub where artists of all ages can create, learn, and share their cultural narratives.
• GoCA collaborates with over 20 regional and remote community not-for-profit art centers across Central Australia, fostering innovative spaces where Indigenous culture is actively preserved and shared between generations.
• By purchasing authentic artwork from these community centers, people are directly supporting the talented artists and their families residing in the Central Desert region.
• Participate in a guided tour at The Gallery of Central Australia and converse with Kathleen Agius about the history of the Central Western Desert Art Movement and the significance of dot painting, including the reasons behind the use of dots to protect sacred knowledge.
• Learn about the significance of the symbols used in dot painting, which originally served as markings in the sand for storytelling and knowledge sharing, before transitioning to paint on canvas in Central Australia.
