Iltja Ntjarra artists use their majestic watercolours to advocate for Country and culture through their visionary art projects. This installation is one in a series of Caring for Country projects begun with the Traditional Owners Only installation at the 23rd Biennale of Sydney (2022, curator Marissa Maher) and expanded into a whimsical installation set inside the neo-classical Institute of Economic Botany at Adelaide Botanical Gardens for Tarnanthi, 2023. This installation is a plea for clean water in Central Australia where many remote Aboriginal communities face water insecurity.
