Uluru-ku Tjukurpa or the Uluru Statement is on display at the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA). Image supplied.
To celebrate NAIDOC Week, the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) will be the first state institution to display the painting that calls for Aboriginal people’s recognition in the Australian Constitution. The Uluru Statement was the consensus of 250 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who met in May 2017 during the First Nations National Constitutional Convention. The painting itself – officially titled Uluru-ku Tjukurpa – is the work of Aṉangu artists Rene Kulitja, Charmaine Kulitja, Christine Brumby and Happy Reid, whose signatures appear in the bottom left corner. Other signatories from those attending the convention surround the central work.
