“Meet Cungelella Art, a 100% Aboriginal owned family business run by sisters Glenda, Cheryl, Dale and Juanita and based 200km from NT on their Kalkatungu homeland.

Started in 2019 by Glenda as a means for cultural connection and creative expression, one by one, Glenda's blossoming talent for painting sparked the curiosity of her sisters, and before long all four sisters had been inspired to take their own creative journey.

In just three years, Cungelella Art amassed a huge online presence and then watched as it was swiftly taken away from them, when their Instagram account boasting 37,000 followers was hacked and stolen from them. At Variety Hour, we know all too well how much businesses—especially artists—rely on social media, and what a huge loss this would be. 

So, we've teamed up with Cungelella Art to shine a spotlight on this incredible, creative group of women sharing the stories of their Kalkatungu homelands through their artwork.”
