FESTIVAL INFORMATION5-14 APRIL 2019 MPARNTWE (ALICE SPRINGS)

SEE OUR CULTURESIN A NEW LIGHT.

Parrtjima is the only First Nations festival of its kind, showcasing some of the oldest continuous cultures on earth through the latest technology.

During the 10 night program, experience interactive workshops*, talks, films and live music** across two event precincts (Alice Springs Desert Park and Todd Mall) bringing together the stories, sounds and rhythms of Central Australia. The event is held in Alice Springs, Mparntwe, an area that always was and always will be part of the Arrernte people.

As well as Arrernte art, the festival features incredible work from across the Western and Central Desert regions and other parts of the Northern Territory.

This image is a small selection of faces celebrating the wide network of traditional custodians, Arrernte artists and the coming generations.

Parrtjima is held on Mparntwe. Mparntwe is connected to the estates of Antulye and Irlpme and to a network of Arrernte custodians who hold rights and responsibilities for these areas. A group of Arrernte people choose to help guide and create Parrtjima, and want you to feel welcome as they host this event.
