- Over the years, there have been different spellings of the name of the Central Australian Indigenous language/cultural group whose activities are the focus of this article. They have included Aranda, Arunta, Aranta, Arrarnta, and Arrernte. Western Arrernte prefer the older orthography of ‘Arrarnta’ and I wanted to honour this preference. Unfortunately, this would have created considerable confusion, as the contemporary art world has, by default, adopted the preferred spelling of the Eastern Arrernte (‘Arrernte’).
