Martumili Artists

Martumili Artists emerged through the collective efforts of Martu individuals residing in the communities of Parnpajinya (Newman), Jigalong, Parnngurr, Punmu, Kunawarritji, Irrungadji, and Warralong. This art collective is deeply rooted in the rich tapestry of Aboriginal art history. The artists and their families are the custodians of vast expanses encompassing the Great Sandy, Little Sandy, and Gibson Deserts, along with the Karlamilyi (Rudall River) region.

For the most part, Martu people led an autonomous, nomadic desert lifestyle until the 1950s and 1960s, when they sought refuge in settlements due to prolonged and severe drought conditions. Today, Martu individuals reside in their own communities and make periodic visits to regional centers like Newman and Port Hedland.
