Dates: 19.05.08 : 27.06.08

Central Art has put together a striking exhibition featuring thirteen beautiful works from Pintupi artists.

Before becoming integral to the foundation of the Aboriginal Art movement from Papunya in the 1970s, the Pintupi were displaced from their country.

The Pintupi remain some of the most traditional people in Australia. Originally from the very remote western desert in the Lake Mackay region, the Pintupi were moved to the communities of Papunya, Hermannsburg and Haasts Bluff in the 1960s. At this time the Pintupi had very little experience of western culture, and were still living a very traditional lifestyle.
