WELCOME TO THE NAMATJIRA PROJECT

We would like to acknowledge Western Aranda people of the Central Australian Desert and their stunning country on which the project is based.

The Namatjira project is many things to many people: it is multilayered and includes a creative community development project, an original theatrical work, and an accompanying watercolour exhibition. It is also a celebration of the acclaimed watercolour artist Albert Namatjira’s life and legacy.

The project is run by arts and social change organisation Big hART, in collaboration with members of the Namatjira family and many community, government and business partners.

The theatre show and exhibition are soon to be touring internationally – keep an eye out for more info here.

We invite you to learn more about the project, the history and of course the man himself: Albert Namatjira.

You can also read the latest media articles and reviews, check out the work we’re doing surrounding social policy, check out our merchandise, and read about the upcoming Namatjira documentary.
