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. Â
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.
