Details

Imuna Kenta is an artist belonging to the Pitjantjatjara language and cultural group and lives in Pukatja (Ernabella) in South Australia.

Imuna was born in 1948 at Pipalyatjara. As a child she moved east to Ernabella, where she attended the mission school and then worked in the craftroom. She travelled with the Ernabella Choir several times in the 1960s and 1970s to Adelaide and Alice Springs, and again in 2004. Imuna has spent much of her adult life caring for a large family and a disabled daughter, living at the homelands Turkey Bore and Balfours Well.

Imuna has been weaving since 2005, and quickly moved from making small baskets to quirky sculptural pieces. Usually depicting animals which surround her home community of Pukatja, such as kangaroos, goannas, camels and dogs, her work is always strong, proud and full of character. Imuna is a lead artist in her home community and a key weaver, giving guidance and inspiration to others with her courage to experiment in her arts practise.

Tjanpi Desert Weavers (Tjanpi meaning ‘wild grass’) is an award-winning, Indigenous governed and directed social enterprise of the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Women’s Council (NPYWC). Tjanpi empowers over 400 women across a 350,000 square kilometre area of the tri-state region of NT, SA and WA to earn an income and remain in their communities on Country.
