Life is better with art

The Tjanpi Desert Weavers

The Tjanpi Desert Weavers are an inspiring collective of Aboriginal women across the vast Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (NPY) Lands. These artists skillfully transform traditional practices into stunning contemporary fiber art, each piece a testament to their rich cultural heritage and innovative spirit. Crafted from locally collected Tjanpi (grass), these weavings are not just artworks; they're embodiments of ancestral stories and artistic evolution. By adopting a Tjanpi, you support a socially conscious organisation that empowers these remarkable artists and helps preserve an important cultural legacy. Plus they're super fun!
