This weekend, the fourth edition of the Tarnanthi Festival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island Art opens across multiple Adelaide venues. The Festival – with its signature exhibition presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia (AGSA) – has quickly garnered a reputation for long-track projects and new commissions that dig deep into the histories, the lore and the politics of art being produced on Country.
Led by Artistic Director Nici Cumpston, AGSA’s Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, this year’s Tarnanthi program continues to be ambitious.
