      Drinking Tea in the Desert (2024)

      Acrylic on Board / Digital

      Artist(s): Chris Ng

      This Roller shutter art piece has been created as part of the Mparntwe Street Art Festival 2024 in conjunction with Red Hot Arts and proudly sponsored by Activate Alice.

      About the Artist:

      Chris Ng is an emerging visual and multidisciplinary artist currently living and based in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. Their art practice is informed by their own personal experiences and identity as a first generation "Australian" of South East Asian/Chinese background, as well as their immediate surroundings and natural, political and socio-economic landscape.

      Spanning across many different forms, mediums and styles, Chris aims to make art that is relevant to people and the context in which it is presented. While living in Mparntwe much of their work is inspired by the amazing country and biodiversity, rich culture(s) and people living here.
