Punu

"Punu" (wood/artefacts) plays a critical role in the lives of Anangu (people) in Central Australia. Situated at the base of Uluru in the Northern Territory, Maruku Arts represents, supports and nurtures Punu makers from the Anangu Pitantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in South Australia, the Ngaanyatjarra Lands in Western Australia as well as communities in the Northern Territory.

Punu is a key source of survival in this new world and Anangu from across Central Australia are ecstatic when the Punu Man arrives to buy beautiful pieces for the gallery at Uluru and world wide distribution. The Manager of Maruku Arts Clive Scollay gives an overview of the organisation and it's history.
