Details

Nadia Forbes is an artist belonging to the Ngaanyatjarra language and cultural group and lives in the remote community of Warakurna WA.

Nadia has spent her whole life in Warakurna, and remembers when the school was just a caravan with one teacher.

Nadia began creating Tjanpi artwork in October 2018 after being taught by well-known Tjanpi artist Nancy Nyanyana Jackson. The first animal she was taught to sculpt was a Tjulpu, which she constructed from Minarri grass, bright wool and raffia.

Tjanpi Desert Weavers (Tjanpi meaning ‘wild grass’) is an award-winning, Indigenous governed and directed social enterprise of the Ngaanyatjarra, Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara Women’s Council (NPYWC). Tjanpi empowers over 400 women across a 350 000 square km area of the tri-state region of NT, SA and WA to earn an income and remain in their communities on Country.
