# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Papunya Tula: Reusing the dotting as decorative pattern violates the knowledge and rights those signs carry, and is rightly criticized as cultural appropriation.
# - Tingatinga: Mass-producing the animal shapes alone dilutes the painting conventions the cooperative maintained, and the work reads as tourist merchandise.
