This publication catalogues the Colliding Worlds exhibition, which debuted at the 2006 Adelaide Festival, followed by a longer season at the Melbourne Museum from 14 July to 10 September 2006. The exhibition presents an array of objects, mainly photographs and paintings, which the curator Philip Batty describes as ‘the intercultural debris of an inevitable collision between two peoples’ (p. 2). The Melbourne Museum show was launched by Mitjilli Napanangka and Jeremy Long, who first met in 1957 near Lake Mackay. Mitjilli was a young Pintupi woman travelling with her family, and she had heard about whitefellas but had never seen them. Long was a young native patrol officer sent to accompany the anthropologist Donald Thomson on an expedition through the Great Sandy Desert. Mitjilli and Long did not meet again until fifty years later, at the opening night of Colliding Worlds .
