OUMOULA MCKENZIE: My name is Oumoula Nanaiyu Mckenzie and I’m a Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara (Anangu), Warumungu, and Warlmanpa artist from central Australia. I grew up in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), and I use my art to try to empower my community and speak on the challenges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples face.
maya: How did you get into graphic design as a medium? What about it is appealing and/or useful to you? Why have you chosen it as a vehicle for your inherently political artwork?
