Sing our Country with Love - Kiwirrkurra Kungkas

The Red Dust Strong Young Women’s Program: Kiwirrkurra 13th Sept 2023 The Kungkas in Kiwirrkurra have never had the opportunity to write and record their own song and produce a video. With the 40th anniversary of the Kiwirrkurra Community happening in 2024, the kungkas were keen to have their voices heard amongst the celebrations and draw attention to their experiences and love of country. With this in mind, local kungkas Jinika, Joan, Derica, Janita, Eldisha, Ninega, Gabriella, Fatima, Glenys and Saunders, met with Pintupi woman Jodie, Red Dust SYW coordinator Jessie, Red Dust’s videographer Wheeler and Realtone’s Steve to write their song and plan their video. All the kungkas were keen to sing up their country. Thanks to Julian and the team at Tjamu Tjamu PBC for the accommodation, use of the troopy, organising the space to record, and generous support for the project.
