A new mural by Ewyenper Atwatye artists 'Energy Comes From Thunder' has been unveiled by Power and Water.
The collaboration between Ewyenper Atwatye artists and Power and Water embodies the spirit and energy of the Arrernte people.
The mural was painted on Arrernte country at the Sturt Pump Station in Mparntwe/Alice Springs.
'Energy Comes from Thunder' is the fourth reconciliation artwork to be painted on Power and Water infrastructure.
Tangentyere Artists program, which supports Town Camp artists to share their stories, culture and lives, made the project possible.
Power and Water Senior Manager - Reconciliation, Diversity and Inclusion, Carmen Douglas, said the artwork representing lightning, electricity and water, and the connection to the natural world, was part of Power and Water's reconciliation journey.
"We have been engaging Traditional Owners, Elders, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists to identify local stories that highlight the continued connection," she said.
Ms Douglas highlighted the importance of "power and water relevant to the land where we operate, and our infrastructure is located".
"Power and Water's vision for reconciliation is to be a culturally diverse, modern multi-utility where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples feel respected, safe and recognised as trusted partners now and into the future.
"We thank the Ewyenper Atwatye artists and storytellers for partnering with us to continue to build on what we have achieved so far for a stronger, culturally inclusive organisation that works in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples."
