As the leading festival event celebrating Aboriginal artists living across the vast region of Central Australia, we look back at the September 2018 exhibition and some of the magnificent artworks on show.
A sculptural display of 200 dogs, unveiled at the 2016 Desert Mob Exhibition, was the culmination of a project that started with art students from Warlukurlangu who worked on collaborative sculpture designs at the Batchelor Institute depicting the dogs of Yuendumu. Once the designs were done, the engineering department at the Alice Springs Correctional Centre took the designs and created metal cut outs. These sculptures were then taken to the community and painted by the artists of Yuendumu, who were also completing certificates in visual arts with Batchelor Institute.
