We Don’t Need a Map

Posted by Sas Lyon

We Don’t Need A Map brings the desert to the city to celebrate the lively and enduring culture of the Martu – the traditional owners of a vast area of WA’s Western Desert.

This remarkable exhibition includes the work of more than 30 artists and is an exploration of the Martu people, their way of life, the way they care for country and belong to it. Featuring paintings, new media collaborations, finely wrought objects, aerial desert photography, bush tucker and talks with the Martu artists and rangers, the exhibition will surprise and inspire audiences.

The original We Don’t Need A Map exhibition was the result of a partnership between Fremantle Arts Centre, Martumili Artists, Kanyirninpa Jukurrpa and BHP Billiton. The national tour is made possible with the support of BHP Billiton, The Australia Council for The Arts, Martu People Limited, WA’s Department of Culture and the Arts and Lotterywest.

More information is available at the exhibition website.
