Tjarlirli and Kaltukatjara Art
Tjarlirli Art Indigenous Corporation represents the artists of Tjukurla in the Ngannyatjarra lands of Western Australia and Kaltukatjara in the Northern Territory. The artwork has strong links with the Papunya Tula movement as families left Kintore and Kiwirrkurra to return to their homelands in the mid 1980s.
Established in 2006 Tjarlirli Art has been recognised as a source of culturally significant work produced by elders such as Mrs N Giles. Katjarra Butler, Mrs E Giles, Mrs A Farmer, Elsa Young and the Mr A Young.
Tjarlirli Art has many younger artists keen to carry on their parents traditions. Artist such as Adam, Jason and Sally Butler, Bob and James Gibson, Sheila and Eileen Giles and Deborah Young are prolific and accomplished painters.
The art centre is providing much needed income and employment in the remote Tjukurla community of approximately 40 people. It has a strong mandate to provide training and skills development for its members and offers opportunities for Indigenous artists to travel and participate in various industry events.
Tjarlirli Arts' core business is the preservation, maintenance and promotion of the art work of the Ngaanyatjarra people by nurturing the development of traditional and contemporary artistic practice, exploring new mediums and innovative opportunities for creative expression.
