Description

Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon paints her father's Country—the rockholes and sandhills of Takupalangu, west of Kintore. When Alice was a small girl, she walked this Country with her family. Her mother collected mungilpa (bush vegetables) and pounded them into damper. Her design was on the cover of Vogue. Now it is on silk.

Bishop sleeves top. 120 reed dupion silk. Screen printed by hand at the Ikuntji art centre in Haasts Bluff. This is not fashion inspired by Aboriginal art. This is Aboriginal art, worn.

Every purchase from Ikuntji Artists goes directly back to the artist and the community of Haasts Bluff. Ikuntji Artists Aboriginal Corporation is 100% Aboriginal owned and governed—the first art centre in the Western Desert founded by women, for women, in 1992.

Each garment comes with a digital Certificate of Authenticity including the design story. Orders are dispatched from Haasts Bluff, Northern Territory. Please allow a minimum of one week for delivery—you are purchasing from a remote community, and we make the three-hour trip to our nearest post office to get your order to you.
