Aboriginal Australian Art and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

Aboriginal Australian Dreaming sagas that describe the pathways of ancestral beings who moved through and created the Australian landscape. Aboriginals recreate these ancestral wanderings when they performatively commemorate their ancestors. Since the 1970s, Aboriginals near Alice Springs paint these stories in acrylic and sell in the wider art market. Artists living in Mulga Bore near Alice Springs trace another form of contact—with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. These artists, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, evidence their efforts to thrive within both belief systems.
