Matthew Thorne, Derik Lynch
Dipped in Black follows Yankunytjatjara man Derik Lynch’s road trip back to the Country for spiritual healing as memories from his childhood return. A journey from the oppression of white city life in Adelaide back home to his remote Anangu Community (Aputula) to perform on sacred Inma ground. Inma is a traditional form of storytelling using the visual, verbal, and physical. It is how Anangu Tjukurpa (story connected to country/dreaming/myth/lore) has been passed down for over 60,000 years from generation to generation.
