Papunya Tula is an Aboriginal artists owned cooperative from the Western Desert of Australia formed in 1972 based out of Alice Springs in Australia’s North Territory.

The group is known for its innovative work popularly referred to as “dot painting” and the group is credited with bringing indigenous Australian art to world attention Traditionally Papunya is the epicentre of the honey ant dreaming where songlines converge. The resultant explosion of artistic activity is generally regarded as the origin of contemporary indigenous Australian art – the modern form of art of the oldest surving race of peoples on the planet.
