| The Outback lights up |
|
The only Aboriginal light festival of its kind in the world, Parrtjima – A Festival in Light has announced its exciting new program of stunning light installations, live music, workshops, meaningful talks, and film favourites in Alice Springs (Mparntwe), home of Arrernte people.
The free festival is themed ‘Lifting Our Spirits’ and runs for 10 nights, proudly showcasing the oldest continuous culture on Earth, bringing stories and ideas to life through engaging, creative, fun and moving performances and installations. As always, the must-see two-kilometre illumination of the Macdonnell ranges will be magnificent, accompanied by a dynamic soundscape and narration.
The light installation showcase, Werte, has been inspired by an artwork by Kumalie Kngwarraye Riley, which takes as its central motif Werte (pronounced Woord-da), the concentric lineal work that speaks of meeting places, and is so relevant to the Central Desert art styles.
As part of the festival’s COVID-19 Safety Plan, this year guests are required to register their attendance at Parrtjima. Tickets are free of charge. Registering helps to manage the number of visitors each night, reduce queuing, and support physical distancing guidelines.
