The first Aboriginal light festival of its kind in the world, Parrtjima, is back for another year. It's an annual, free, ten-night festival celebrating Arrernte (Central Australian) art and culture, held in Mparntwe (Alice Springs, Australia) from Sept. 22 to Oct. 1.
Numerous large-scale light works are being switched on every night, including a highly ambitious illumination of the epic MacDonnell Ranges.

“Parrtjima shows people that the country is alive, so that visitors and all the non-Arrernte people who live here can have deeper respect for it, and start to see how much it means to us," says significant traditional owner (Apmereke-artweye of Mparntwe) and festival participant Benedict Kngwarraye Stevens.
"We want people to understand that it has always been a part of us. Parrtjima helps our young people stand tall in front of the world to say, ‘This is our country, this is our art, and this is our culture — and it is good’.”

In Central and Eastern Arrernte, apatememeans "to have trouble understanding something" and pwarrtyememeans "to shine" — so together, the event name means both the shedding light and the act of understanding something.
Right in front of the Ranges lies the rest of the festival, in the Alice Springs Desert Park. There's a returning showcase called Grounded (ApmereMelangke [There’s No Place Like Home]), featuring giant ground projections from Ikuntji artists Eunice Napanangka Jack and Gordon Butcher, and Arrernte artists Patricia Ansell Dodds, Carol Turner and Greg McAdam, and Lindy Brodie from Barkly Regional Arts.

“The most important thing for us is to keep passing on our culture to the coming generations. Parrtjima helps us show the world that this is Arrernte country and how beautiful it is," says Kngwarraye Stevens.
Parrtjima runs Sept. 22 to Oct. 1 in Alice Springs, Australia.
