The title is inspired by a public Arrernte women’s ceremony shared by our very senior knowledge-holder MK Turner OAM. The lyrics are 'altyerre ayenge alhelharrke-parrkaye' which translates to 'I am a woman and I am shimmering.' Not only is it a powerful, joyful assertion of our matriarchy and our Altyere (dreaming), it connotes spiritual power, an inherent energy. Like shimmering light, it is a contiguity that is ever-present, infusing memory, and even paint.1of 3
