TARNANTHI - Adelaide
TARNANTHI, Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art presents the art of Australia’s oldest living culture on an unprecedented scale. A platform for artists from across the country to share important stories, TARNANTHI sheds new light on contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
Throughout 2022, Tarnanthi is bringing major new works of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art to audiences in Adelaide and delivering touring exhibitions in South Australia, nationally and internationally.
Tarnanthi 2022’s projects in Adelaide include Vincent Namatjira’s Going Out Bush, which brings his witty and subversive paintings to life on AGSA’s façade during July. Other projects in development will be announced soon.
Tarnanthi is also expanding its touring program with Kungka Kuṉpu (Strong Women). This exhibition of contemporary works by renowned women artists from the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands tours eastern Australia from October until 2024, sharing bold art from Tarnanthi with new audiences. It builds on current Tarnanthi tours: photographic works in Naomi Hobson: Adolescent Wonderland travelling regional South Australia, and the Kuḻaṯa Tjuṯa exhibition of vibrant Aṉangu works in Europe until late 2022.
