Experience Tjanpi Desert Weavers rich history of collaborative practice with their acclaimed short film Tangki – Donkey and Kukaputju - The Hunter. Playing between sessions at AACTA Festival, stay for a moment or get lost in their rhythms of Country, culture and community.

Tjanpi Desert Weavers is a social enterprise of the Ngaanyatjarra Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Women’s Council (NPYWC) that enables women living in the remote Central and Western desert regions to earn an income from fibre art. Tjanpi represents over 400 Aboriginal women artists from 26 remote communities across WA, SA and NT.

Tangki – Donkey and Kukaputju - The Hunter, arose from an artist-led imperative to explore different ways to tell and share stories through Tjanpi artwork. Tjanpi’s first animation ventures, Ngayuku Papa: Tiny and Ngayuku Papa: Bluey and Big Boy (2018), had proven that animation is an exceptional storytelling medium for the tactile form and inherent whimsy of Tjanpi sculptures.
