Betty Muffler, Maringka Burton Ngangkari ngura (healing country)

We two ngangkari (Aṉangu traditional healers) painted this together. Our painting comes from our shared experience of working together as ngangkari. Each of us has painted the country where we were born and belong. These places are an essential part of each of us. I paint Anamara Piti, the caterpillar tjukurpa site near Wingelina. Betty has painted her country, Yalungu, south of Wataru.

Our collaborative painting is about healing the sick, our work as ngangkari and the ways the two of us work together as ngangkari. We two women are healers, we have the hands to heal.
