Icons of the Desert: Early Aboriginal Paintings from Papunya
Several representatives from Papunya Tula Artists will travel to the United States in early February for Icons of the Desert: Early Aboriginal Paintings from Papunya. This important exhibition features seminal works drawn from the collection of John and Barbara Wilkerson, most dating back to the earliest years of painting at Papunya, 1971-1972.

The exhibition’s centerpiece is Johnny Warangkula Tjupurrula’s staggering Water Dreaming at Kalipinypa of 1972, whose visual intricacy has been likened to a page in a medieval illumination manuscript.
On Saturday, February 14, the Johnson will host a symposium, “Papunya Then and Now,” featuring presentations by Roger Benjamin; Fred Myers of New York University; Vivien Johnson and Jennifer Biddle, both of the University of New South Wales; Paul Sweeney, manager of Papunya Tula Artists in Alice Springs; and Bobby West Tjupurrula, artist and son of first-generation Papunya artist Freddy West Tjakamarra.

Across the desert
Aboriginal Batik from Central Australia
Tjunkiya and Wintjiya Napaltjarri are two Papunya Tula Artists exhibiting at the National Gallery of Victoria's Across the Desert: Aboriginal batik from Central Australia. In 1994 senior Pintupi women attended a batik workshop in Kintore which resulted in some inspired cotton batiks, synchronous with the Kintore/Haasts Bluff Canvas Project.
Across the Desert: Aboriginal batik from Central Australia celebrates the emergence of a dynamic art form and the genesis of Aboriginal women’s art practice in five distinct desert communities – Ernabella (Pukatja), Fregon (Kaltjiti), Utopia, Yuendumu and Kintore (Walungurru). Each of these communities has a different story to tell in relation to the adoption and adaptation of batik, a wax-resist process developed in Indonesia that Aboriginal women have made their own from 1971 until now.
