Nura Rupert: Mamu and Mischief features paintings and prints by Nura Rupert. Kami Nura was a Ngangkari – a traditional Anangu healer. Nura could see Mamu (bad spirits) and the ways in which the Papa Tjuta (camp dogs) protected Anangu from Mamu. These works give us a precious glimpse through the eyes of a Ngangkari that could see more than most.
This exhibition draws on works housed by Flinders University Museum of Art including from the Ernabella Archive.
