Shining on at Paartjima
INDIGENOUS festival of light, Paartjima will light up the sky and landscape around Mpartwe (Alice Springs) for the tenth year running from April 4- 13, 2025.
The free festival will feature music, comedy, workshops and talks alongside the art installations the event is known for including Grounded and the MacDonnell Ranges Light Show.
Four new installations will be added to the immersive art offering, including Molly Hunt’s Three Generations of Station Women, Bobby West Tjupurrula’s Hypnotic Reverberations and Lyall Giles’ Transforming Light & Country.
The light show combines classical music and Arrente language, paying tribute to the spiritual connection to the land.
