Antara is an important women's ceremonial site near Mimili community. Many of the senior women at Mimili Maku Arts represent Antara and its significant Maku Tjukurpa (Witchetty Grub Dreaming) in their paintings. Puna Yanima has utilised the immediacy and loose fluidity of ink to map the ngura (country) of this sacred place, marking its kapi tjukula (rock holes), apu and murou (rocks and mountains).
