Description

Artists Kamurin Young and Moses Brady perform at the painting’s presentation.

On 15 – 16 November 2017, members of the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands attended the Australian War Memorial to launch the painting commissioned by the Memorial. The artists were particularly inspired by the story of First World War soldier William Punch, who was the survivor of a massacre in the 1880s. The painting was created by 19 senior male artists from the APY Lands. The visit was made by artists and members from the APY Lands over two days where they participated in a range of events including the Last Post ceremony, a visit to the Hall of Memory and met with the Memorial’s Director Dr Brendan Nelson at the Roll of Honour. This visit was captured by commissioned photographer Stephen Dupont as well as Memorial photographers.
