I was born here in the little clinic, my family and friends are all here. My mother and my grandmother are both ngangkari (traditional healers), they were always helping other people in the community. I like to go into country to find minkulpa (traditional bush tobacco). It only grows in the cool places close to water. I like laughing and having fun, I want the other people to enjoy the art centre like I do. It brings us together, working and sharing, and everyone is happy. This is a strong place.
Desert Mob is presented annually in Mparntwe | Alice Springs on Arrernte Country.
