Spinifex Arts Project

In Western Australia’s Great Victoria Desert on the northern outskirts of the vast Nullarbor Plain lies Tjuntjuntjara, a small and extremely isolated community that is home to the Spinifex Arts Project. It was established in 1997 to record and document ownership of the Spinifex area through two large collaborative artworks which were fundamental to the Spinifex People’s successful Native Title claim in 2000.

Over the last few decades, Spinifex artists have become widely known in the art world, securing their place among the most significant and important artists of the Western Desert region.
