The artists' artwork 'Kalyu' tells how the land and water interact beneath the surface, the main concern about the uranium proposal going ahead.
Artist Curtis Taylor told 'The Point' the country is “really important” and he wants to sustain it.
“A lot of the stories in the painting talks about that and what would happen if it disappeared or got affected in some way,” he says.
“People had that fear they wouldn’t travel across that country, they wouldn’t hunt even in that area, or even drink that water from that area,” he says.
Anohni, an artist from Britain who travelled to the region to meet Curtis Taylor and other artists in 2013, says she admires the way the art mirrors the landscape.
“It’s as good as it gets” she told ‘The Point’.
She says uranium is “detrimental to humanity and nature” and hopes the community’s protest is successful.
On June 5, some of the community will walk one hundred kilometres from Parnngurr Aboriginal Community to the Kintyre uranium.
