Martumili art centre is based in Newman/Parnpajinya, Western Australia, and was established by the Martu people living in the communities of Parnpajinya, Jigalong, Parnngurr, Punmu, Kunawarritji, Irrungadji and Warralong of the East Pilbara deserts region.

The show features 11 artworks by 6 different artists, who as a collective have been gaining recognition both in Australia and worldwide for their diverse, energetic, and unmediated painting styles.

Each artist’s work is unique, often reflecting the dramatic geography and personal stories from their homelands across the Great Sandy Desert and Rudall River/Karlamilyi regions of Western Australia.
