Purnu, Tjanpi, Canvas: Art of the Ngaanyatjarra Lands

This exhibition showcases the dynamic creativity of contemporary Western Desert Ngaanyatjarra artists. Linking the enduring tradition of purnu (wood carving) and tjanpi (grass weaving), to acrylic painting, the show provides a new lens through which to better understand the inventiveness and artistry of these desert people.

Elegant and whimsical, this art reveals a glorious world of colour and craftsmanship as a living heritage.
