Tjarlirli Art Centre represents artists from Tjukurla in the Ngannyatjarra lands of Western Australia, while Kaltukatjara Art Centre is based in Docker River, Northern Territory. Both art centres have strong ties to the Papunya Tula movement, as families relocated from Kintore and Kiwirrkurra to return to their homelands in the mid-1980s.
Tjarlirli & Kaltukatjara Art is recognised for producing culturally significant work by both elders and young artists who are passionate about continuing the traditions of their parents.
These two community-owned Aboriginal art centres are united by family and a shared commitment to preserving stories, culture, and history. They serve as places where artists paint, share stories, maintain their culture, and connect to Country.
Works from Tjarlirli and Kaltukatjara Art exhibit daily from July 7 to 25 on the City of Perth’s Northbridge Piazza Superscreen and Forrest Place’s Arts Screen as part of the Goologoolup NAIDOC Screenings. See the festival guide for screening times. (https://screenarts.com.au/goologoolup-24/)
