People who devote their lives to preserving Aboriginal culture and heritage are often caught between local communities and the legacies of museums. Yuwaalaraay woman Jilda Andrews and John Carty, author of Balgo, chat to Paul Daley about the meaning of Country, anthropology and art in the Western Desert
Balgo: Creating Country by John Carty is published by UWA Publishing. You can also hear John Carty in this Full Story episode about Pitjantjatjara man Yukun and the return of his remains to his descendants.
You can experience Jilda Andrews’ work – giving voice to Country – in the National Museum of Australia’s new environmental history gallery, Great Southern Land.
