House of Darwin, renowned for its collaboration collections that merge culture, storytelling, and fashion, has launched another exciting collaboration this month. This time, the social enterprise and fashion brand have partnered with Tiger Yaltangki, a talented artist from the Yankunytjatjara community in Indulkana. House of Darwin Unveils Collaboration Collection with First Nations Artist Tiger Yaltangki
The collaboration collection represents a captivating blend of storytelling and artistic expression, transcending verbal communication to convey profound narratives through visual artistry. The creations featured within this collection are as unique as the artist himself.
Tiger Yaltangki, wearing the new collection, stands as a testament to the vibrant artistry of his work. Being a predominately non-verbal communicator, Yaltangki’s artwork serves as a profound reflection of his inner world, shared graciously through his creations at the Iwantja Art Centre.
Yaltangki’s creations speak volumes about his experiences, culture, and inspirations, both as an individual and as an artist. Through this collaboration, House of Darwin aims to celebrate Yaltangki’s unique talent and perspective, amplifying his voice on a global platform.
“Heavily inspired by his profound love for music, Tiger Yaltangki strives to fuse his artistic creations with vibrant energy, drawing from a diverse playlist ranging from Creedence to local desert reggae. AC/DC’s electrifying hard rock also serves as a constant muse, as reflected within his work through iconic imagery and a reverence for electric guitars.”
Combining elements of Anangu belief in ‘Mamu’ with influences from sci-fi films and television series like Doctor Who and The Mighty Boosh, Yaltangki intricately weaves a whimsical visual narrative throughout his work – further celebrating the myriad influences shaping his world.
