There are eight distinct language groups – Kukatja, Ngardi, Djaru, Walpiri, Walmajarri, Wangkajunga, Pintupi and Manvyjiljarra – each with their own history and stories to tell. Warlayirti Art Centre accommodates a community of artists diverse in age, cultural and life experience – some brought up in the traditional bush manner, others on the Mission and others in modern day community. For this multicultural and diverse artistic group, art is part of everday life and cultural continuity.’
