| Summary |
Ngapartji/Ngapartji -- meaning reciprocity and co-operation in Pitjantjatjara language -- is an emotional, educational, effective and deeply affecting experience of indigenous history as told through Trevor Jamieson's -- cocreator of the play -- family, forebears and cultural traditions. Namatjira tells the moving story of Albert Namatjira, Australia's most famous Indigenous watercolour artist. His life story provides a valuable insight, not only into Australia's history, but into our modern-day relations with Indigenous people. |
