Description |
FIERCE is an artistic adaptation of the life of the anthropologist and botanist Olive Pink who was once labelled "the fiercest white woman in captivity". It was inspired by historical and fictitious elements relating to an encounter between Miss Pink and the Warlpiri people of Lajamanu. This first European contact took place in 1942 at Thompson?s Rock Hole. Life was never to be the same. FIERCE featured the Aboriginal Women?s Dancing Group Lajamanu Yawalyu, the Grey Panthers, guest artist Trevor Patrick as Olive Pink and live music by the Arafura Ensemble.
