STORY TIME ONLINE Tangki Tjuta Donkeys – Story and sculptures by Tjanpi Desert Weavers
Come one, come all and celebrate NAIDOC week! Book in (see what we did there?) for an Auslan-interpreted story time with us! This is a gentle program for families and friends of any age to listen to a lively reading of Tangki Tjuta Donkeys by the Tjanpi Desert Weavers, followed by some colourful hands-on activities. Tangki Tjuta – Donkeys tells a heartwarming story about how tangki ( donkeys ) came to be in the community of Ernabella. The story which originates from three Anangu women, explains how donkeys became valuable helpers and friends of the community. Told in Pitjantjatjara and English and featuring the whimsical, distinctive sculptures that have made Tjanpi Desert Weavers famous. Made possible with funds donated by Tim Fairfax AC.
