Our Story

papulankutjaartists

Papulankutja X Mantamaru Artists. 100% Aboriginal owned corporation based in Blackstone community.

Our artists recently travelled across the desert t Our artists recently travelled across the desert to Tjukurla to partner with Tjarlirli Art in sharing knowledge, strengthening skills and continuing culture through art with the AACHWA “Our Country Moves” initiative.  

Our talented artists, Paula Lyons-Jones and Kira Porter worked with the Tjarlirli Art team to train young art workers, focusing on core skills such as canvas stretching, colour mixing, and photo cataloguing.

Thank you to AACHWA for this initiative – we had a great time! 

Our Country Moves is an Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of WA (AACHWA) initiative that empowers Aboriginal art centres to promote, empower and connect themselves on Country and artistically.

Proudly supported by Lotterywest, BHP, The Federal Office of the Arts through the Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand (RISE) fund, the Australian Government through Creative Australia and the WA Government.
