CROSS-CULTURAL PROJECTS - fine art - fine craft - ethical trade

We work with traditional artisans from remote regions in Kashmir, Peru, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Nepal (Tibetan refugees).

We work with Australian Aboriginal artists from remote communities across Australia, from Arnhem Land to Central and the Western Desert regions, from rural locations and from cities. Artists own the images used and it is up to them how they can be used.

Artists benefit from royalties paid to them on a monthly basis. Art centres benefit from a substantial profit share paid on their investments.

Artisans benefit by having culturally appropriate opportunities, they are able to supplement rural income by practising age-old traditions in their own homes located in remote beautiful clean villages.

Artist: Willie Wilson

Story:

Willie’s painting depicts his country in remote north western South Australia on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. It is a tjukurpa- creation story. The ngintaka (perentie) is a large monitor lizard that lives in burrows under the ground. They are an important totemic animal for Anangu people. The vibrant palette and bright colours are inherent in the desert landscape. He is influenced by his bush skills and his intimate knowledge of country.
