Know My Name: Tjanpi Desert Weavers Inma

Published 19 January 2021

As the sun sets and the heat abates the Tjanpi Desert Weavers are still working, the campground alive with laughter. Being on Country gives the women energy to continue the flow of weaving, replaced by inma (cultural song and dance) once night falls. Listen to the beautiful sounds of the Tjanpi Desert Weavers' inma.
