Overview

Learn from experts who have brought to life the Library's new major exhibition, Wangka Wakanutja: The Story of the Papunya Literature Production Centre.

In this live online learning session, you will explore the decades-long, remarkable efforts of the Papunya community to record language and culture and keep it alive. You will hear from community members as they share insights into the curatorial process and first-hand knowledge of the work of the Papunya Literature Production Centre.

Guided by Rebecca Bateman, Director of Indigenous Engagement, you will learn about the application of the National Library's Indigenous Cultural and Linguistic Property (ICIP) protocol within a curatorial context and hear about the process for working with this incredible collection, from digitisation right up to display. The session will also explore some of the history of the Papunya Readers collection and share stories in both English and Pintupi-Luritja.

You will join a live Zoom webinar and have the opportunity to ask questions, observe closely, and find out how you can access this incredible collection online.
