Dipped in Black

by Matthew Thorne and Derik Lynch, Australia, 2023, 24'

Marungka Tjalatjunu (Dipped in Black) follows Yankunytjatjara man Derik Lynch’s Road trip back to Country for spiritual healing, as memories of his childhood return. A journey from the oppression of white city life in Adelaide, back home to his remote Anangu community of Aputula to perform on sacred Inma ground.

Inma is a traditional form of storytelling that uses the visual, the verbal and the physical. It is how Anangu Tjukurpa (story connected to land / dream / myth / lore) has been passed from generation to generation for over 60,000 years.
