"The celebrated Aboriginal Australian artist Betty Conway, from the
Pintupi-Luritja language group, is known for her vibrant and distinctive use of
colour and her depictions of bush life. For this short animation, she worked
alongside the Australian filmmaker Jonathan Daw to adapt her painting
After
Rain at Running Water (2020). The work depicts a day spent outdoors at Illari
Creek, a waterway near her birthplace, Tempe Downs Station, in the Northern
Territory, Australia, after a much-needed rainfall. Providing the narration,
she creates a warm portrait of shared joy and intergenerational togetherness,
as her family swim in the rain-filled springs, share meals and tell stories.
The result is a splendid melding of material and non-material culture, offering
a glimpse into a corner of the world that, for most people, is inaccessible."
