Emily Kame Kngwarreye was born in 1910 in a remote desert area known as Utopia, 230 kilometres north-east of Alice Springs. 17 There remains the risk that dominant forms of culture in Australia may recuperate Indigeneity, rather than permit individuals to define Indigeneity without recourse to non-Indigenous discourse. During the twentieth century, the discourse surrounding Indigenous art from Australia gradually shifted from anthropology to aesthetics.1 Even as that shift began to occur, there loomed the constant threat that any production not regarded as sufficiently authentic by Europeans would be consigned to the category of kitsch. Like two overlapping elements in a Venn diagram and the colonial encounter itself, Aboriginality figures indigenous and non-indigenous as coming into existence for each other at points of intersection.16, Aboriginality, then, emerges as an interstitial area for cultural interchange and contemporary art becomes a means for staging the aporia of the contemporary: Indigenous art is contemporary art is non-Indigenous art. Contemporary art mediates between Indigenous and non-Indigenous claims to the contemporary, with all the complexity of colonial history and current repression that it entails.17. Yet, notwithstanding the pervasiveness of the pencil yam in Kngwarreyes oeuvre, her work calls to prominence multispecies relationality, biocultural knowledge and the interstitiality of the human subject. As its title suggests, the exhibition argues that Indigenous art distinguishes itself by focusing on a layered relationship to past, present and future experience. As Ian McLean succinctly notes, Osbornes underlying point is that the contemporary has acquired the historical significance that the modern held for most of the twentieth century, thus usurping its former paradigmatic function.6 Whereas the modern, for Osborne (as for others, such as Groys), attempts to envision and create a future, the contemporary involves a co-presentness of a multiplicity of times.7 Just as the exhibition Everywhen advances a complex, layered experience of time, so too does Osborne advance the thesis that the contemporary is defined by a disjunctive logic, meaning that the present comprises multiple, fractured and intersecting modes of inhabitation. This approach involves a critique of Peter Osbornes concept of contemporary art.5 One of Osbornes main claims is that contemporary art is postconceptual art. Accessed 30 Nov. 2019. Big Yam.

For the prominent cultural theorist Marcia Langton, Aboriginality is best understood in terms of a field of intersubjectivity in that it is remade over and over again in a process of dialogue, of imagination, of representation and interpretation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.15 Similarly, cultural theorist Chris Healy writes that Aboriginality, conceptualises the indigenous and non-indigenous as referring to both separate and connected domains.

Unidentified artist, Kimberley region, Coolamon. An Anmatyerre elder and lifelong custodian of women's 'dreaming' sites in her clan country of Alhalkere, Emily Kame Kngwarreye (1910-1996) developed an abstract visual language centred around ancestral spirits and Australian Aboriginal cosmology. Consequently, her paintings are not simply two-dimensional graphic representations of a culturally reverberative species; to the contrary, her renderings actively mediate human, vegetal and metaphysical domains. Her memories of working the land show that yams and other plant species figured into her identity as their beingness interlaced with hers. Emily Kngwarreye Paintings, edited by Janet Holt. Such song-poems address Country directly as a dialogical subject as a method of ensuring the appearance of yams in cracks in the earth while also imparting practical information about the seasonal habits of the plant along with the most effective techniques of procuring it.

The gauche but intricate visual syntax combines topographical knowledge with diagrammatic marks that indicate a sacred object surrounded by initiated men performing a ceremony.
