Welcome to the Tapatjatjaka Art and Craft Centre at Titjikala, a  small Indigenous community located about 107 kilometres south of Alice Springs, on the edge of the Simpson Desert.

 Its name is derived from the Dreamtime when the big hawk flew in and circled around the sand dune and then nearly landed on the clay pan called Tapatjatjaka. Titjikala has a population of approximately 300 people, whose primary language is Luritja, Arrernte or Pitjantjatjara.
The land for the traditional owners of the area stretches from Horseshoe Bend through to Chambers Pillar, the Titjikala community area, and then across to Mt Burrell, Mt Peachy and to Mt Frank. These are traditional lands of the Arrernte people. Several families living in Titjikala are traditional owners of the area around the community. There are also people who have been living in the Titjikala area for several generations, but whose family members came from other regions. Their children, having been born in this area, are connected to its dreaming. Consequently, Titjikala has become the home of Arrernte, Luritja and Pitjantjatjara people.
