Tarnanthi 2023
The statewide Tarnanthi Festival returns in 2023, with exhibitions at AGSA and at dozens of partner venues across Adelaide and around South Australia.
Acclaimed across Australia, the Tarnanthi Festival showcases the latest contemporary works by hundreds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists from across the continent. As the central point of the Festival, AGSA presents a nationwide survey that promises ambitious and innovative contemporary art combined with deep reflection on unwavering cultural connections.
In addition, the popular Tarnanthi Art Fair returns as both a physical and online event. The physical Art Fair – at a new, larger venue – provides a unique opportunity to meet First Nations artists, learn about their world and ideas, and buy works of art.
The Tarnanthi Festival is an occasion for people to experience Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art in all its diversity. The full program includes artist and curator talks, workshops, film, music and performances.
Tarnanthi is presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia with Principal Partner BHP and support from the Government of South Australia
