In the Beginning: Paintings by Senior Artists of the Spinifex Arts Project

In the Beginning: Paintings by Senior Artists of the Spinifex Arts Project presents the work of internationally renowned artists from the Spinifex Arts Project, a collective of Pitjantjatjara men and women in Tjuntjuntjara, 800 miles east of Perth in the Great Victoria Desert, Western Australia. Spinifex Arts Project began in 1997 when the artists realized that painting would be an instrumental tool in lobbying the Western Australian government to recognize their ongoing connection to their sacred Country so they could return to their homelands.
