ART & HEALTH IN THE DESERT

It has been 11 years since Pintupi people painted pictures and raised one million dollars at the Art Gallery of NSW. Their aim was to improve the lives of their family members forced to leave their country and receive dialysis in Alice Springs. They set up the Western Desert Nganampa Walytja Palyantjaku Tjutaku Aboriginal Corporation (WDNWPT) and changed the face of kidney disease in Kintore as we were able to get people home to live on country and with family.
