IKUNTJI ARTISTS

We are Ikuntji Artists, a not-for-profit, Aboriginal art centre. We are based in the remote Aboriginal community of Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff) in the Northern Territory with a total population of 150 people. 

The art centre was established in 1992 as the first Indigenous art centre in the Western Desert by women and for women. Printmaking has been a part of our history, starting with screen-printing t-shirts. The return to our roots in the past six years has been crucial to the strength of the development. Our art centre is about the intergenerational transfer of knowledge from our elders to our emerging artists. It is an inclusive space, in which experimentation and innovation within our own knowledge systems are fostered. Art-making is a meaningful way to create income and employment as it is based on culture, knowledge and skills. Our art centre creates employment and career opportunities for all of its 45 members.  

Ikuntji designs have become a trademark of innovation and sustainability. Our textiles inspire makers around the world to be innovative and create bespoke wearable art.
