Yuendumu

Yuendumu lies 293km northwest of Alice Springs in the Tanami Desert. A community of some 800 people, it is the home of the Warlukurlangu Artists.

Some of the extraordinary work of the artists is seen here.

Throughout February of 2015 I lived and worked at the arts centre as a volunteer.
