Tamara Glick, UWA architecture student, has fallen in love with the outback after a work placement with Martumili artists in the desert communities of the east Pilbara.

Tamara said the experience was life changing and thanked the UWA alumni who donate to the Annual Fund to support innovative projects that enhance the student experience.

"It was such an amazing experience and totally changed my perspective on desert living. Now I just pretty much want to find a way to get back out there permanently, as soon as possible!" said Tamara.

The Annual Fund grant has provided a number of students, including Tamara, the opportunity to work with art centres and artists in remote parts of Australia, some spending time with communities in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands and Haasts Bluff (Northern Territory), and others in Arnhem Land. There are plans for the program to continue, providing transformative learning experiences for more UWA students.
