Bush medicines heal our people and keep tradition and knowledge strong. We paint arreth (a strong bush medicine). Our grandmothers and mothers taught us where and when to find plants, how to cook and use bush medicines. We paint together. We connect our paintings to connect to apmer malangk (beautiful land).

Desert Mob is presented annually in Mparntwe | Alice Springs on Arrernte Country.

On behalf of Desart’s staff and art centre members, the Executive Committee humbly and respectfully acknowledge the Arrernte Apmereke Artweye (Traditional Owners) and Kwertengerle (Traditional Managers) of Mparntwe.
