This exhibition, and accompanying book, celebrate the renaissance of painting in one of the best-known locations of art production in Central Australia since the establishment of Papunya Tjupi Arts in 2007 and reveals the role of women at the forefront of this revival.

These rising art stars are the daughters of the men who founded the desert art movement at Papunya in the 1970s. Early Papunya paintings from the Flinders University Museum of Art collection and significant other loans, including from the National Museum of Australia and Art Gallery of South Australia, illustrate these connections.
