Introducing: 50 Years of Papunya Tula Artists

The Kluge-Ruhe is opening a new exhibition! It's called Irrititja Kuwarri Tjungu (Past & Present Together): 50 Years of Papunya Tula Artists.

Papunya Tula is a collective of Aboriginal artists in The Australian Western Desert. In this episode, we get a sneak peak of the new exhibit and Henry Skerritt tells us why these paintings are so important to the history of Aboriginal Art.

And stay tuned! Over the coming weeks, we're going to share a lot more about this very special exhibit and the artworks on display.
