Tarnanthi celebrates the rich and continually evolving world of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. By harnessing the storytelling power of traditional and modern art forms, the festival offers a unique insight into Australia’s vibrant First Nations cultures.
Meaning “to rise, come forth, spring up or appear” in the Kaurna language of the Adelaide Plains, Tarnanthi celebrates the ongoing resilience, ingenuity and humour of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Australia’s most comprehensive survey of contemporary First Nations art spans a range of media, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, weaving, photography, film and multimedia installations.
From the neo-classical sandstone Art Gallery of South Australia to smaller regional partner galleries, the festival provides a unique prism through which to connect with Australia’s original cultures.
Running alongside the festival, the Tarnanthi Art Fair allows attendees to meet and buy works directly from artists, and has raised more than $4 million for artists and community-run arts centres around the country. An accompanying program includes musical performances, children’s art workshops and the always fascinating Panpapanpalya ideas forum.
