Kalka Community, PMB 65 via Alice Springs NT 0872
Location

Ninuku Arts supports artists from Pipalyatjara and Kalka in far north-western South Australia. These two communities, fourteen kilometres apart, near the corner of the tri-state border of SA, WA and NT, are surrounded by the Tomkinson Ranges and are part of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands, to which freehold title was granted in 1981.
Kalka and Pipalyatjara each have populations of around 100-150 Anangu (‘people’ in Pitjantjatjara) and are serviced by a school, TAFE, clinic and the Ninuku Arts. The language of this part of the Lands is Pitjantjatjara. ‘Ninu’ is the bilby, an important part of the area’s Tjukurpa (dreaming).
