“A woman thinks and paints Tjukurpa. Listen to how it is: Women understand the ways of their culture from their grandmothers’ teachings and work to keep these strong. This isn’t the business of men. Women act according to Women’s Law. They hold a vast number of important teachings: to do with food; family; celebrations and education. They have strong culture.” – Senior Pitjantjatjara woman
