Magnet - Kaylene Whiskey, Seven Sisters Song

Staying true to her distinct and vibrant art practice, which is widely recognised for its celebration of sisterhood and strong kungas (women), Yankunytjatjara artist Kaylene Whiskey instils a sense of joy into the politically charged collision of Western pop culture and life on Country. Produced on discarded tourist pamphlets, Whiskey’s bold depictions of iconic women surrounded by red dirt, tjala (honey ants) and ngintaka (perentie lizards), intermingle Western consumerism with Anangu culture. Whiskey lives in Indulkana, Yankunytjatjara, Southern Desert region, and practices at the Iwantja Arts centre.
