Tarnanthi launches at Art Gallery of South Australia

Australia’s biggest festival of modern Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, Tarnanthi, has launched at the Art Gallery of South Australia. In addition to Tarnanthi’s main exhibition at AGSW, smaller exhibitions are presented at 30 partner venues across Adelaide, including a commercial art fair featuring work from 50 Indigenous art centres. Tarnanthi means to come forth or appear in the language of the Kaurna people, the traditional owners of the Adelaide Plains.
