  • Critically Acclaimed Festival Tarnanthi Breaks Records
    MEDIA RELEASE Tuesday 28th January 2020 Critically acclaimed festival Tarnanthi breaks records "Tarnanthi maps diverse Indigenous art practice across the continent and blurs the lines between urban and remote, traditional and contemporary." ABC Radio National Adelaide, Australia: Tarnanthi: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art closed on Monday 27 January following months of widely celebrated exhibitions as well as events and activities across the state and at the Art Gallery of South Australia. The 2019 festival, which launched on 17 October and ran for more than 100 days, attracted a record-breaking 561,927 people across the state to exhibitions as part of the festival – a 40% increase in attendances from the 2017 festival. Internationally acclaimed and recognised as the largest festival of its kind in the world, this year’s Tarnanthi festival featured more than 1,200 artists, with works on display at AGSA and 38 partner venues, showcasing the diversity and ingenuity of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artistic practice. Tarnanthi Artistic Director Nici Cumpston says, ‘It is an honour to present Tarnanthi, providing an opportunity for artists from across the country to develop bold new work. Tarnanthi is a genuine and authentic chance to exchange, share and learn from one another.’ Tarnanthi also encompassed its annual Tarnanthi Art Fair, artist talks, performances and events. The Tarnanthi Art Fair showcased artists from 45 art centres from across the country and attracted more than 6,500 art enthusiasts. Breaking all previous records, the Art Fair had a 108% increase in attendances since 2017 and generated more than $1.2 million in art sales, all of which go directly to the artists and art centres.

  • AGSA Announces Tarnanthi 2020 Exhibition 'Open Hands'
    MEDIA RELEASE Monday 24 August 2020 AGSA announces the Tarnanthi 2020 program The Art Gallery of South Australia today announces the exhibition Open Hands for this year’s Tarnanthi, AGSA’s annual celebration of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Open Hands will be held from 16 October until 31 January 2021 at the Art Gallery of South Australia. AGSA also announces that in 2020, the Tarnanthi Art Fair will be held from 4 - 6 December. Open Hands highlights how the creativity of First Nations women artists forms a vital cultural link in sharing knowledge across generations. Through the act of making, artists channel deep connections to Country and culture. Tarnanthi’s creative vision is led by Barkandji artist and curator Nici Cumpston, who has recently been recognised with an OAM for her leadership in presenting Aboriginal art. Cumpston OAM says, ‘Open Hands, celebrates the ongoing and often unseen work that women in communities do to maintain culture. Keeping these stories alive and sharing knowledge is deeply embedded within everyday life across Australia.’ For this year’s Tarnanthi, artists have expressed themselves in a variety of media, including painting, works on paper, photography, moving image, sound installation, weaving, ceramics and sculpture. The thread that binds these works together from across the continent is the role of art. The stories they share are as rich and diverse as their practices. MEDIA RELEASE Monday 24 August 2020 The next wave of work from artists in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) lands of South Australia focuses on bold new ways forward with drawing – an important art form that is embedded in teaching culture.

  • – Media Release – Collaborative Exhibition Opens at the South Australian Museum As Part of Tarnanthi
    – Media Release – Collaborative exhibition opens at the South Australian Museum as part of Tarnanthi Still in my mind: Gurindji location, experience and visuality presented by Artback NT opens this Friday, 18 October at the South Australian Museum, as part of Tarnanthi: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art. The exhibition reflects on the enduring impacts of dispossession and displacement, including those of a pivotal land rights event, the 1966–75 Gurindji ‘walk-off’. Gurindji/Malngin Leader Vincent Lingiari led over 200 countrymen, women and children off Wave Hill Station to protest slave labour conditions and human rights abuse. “Although other protest and strike actions had taken place preceding the 1966 Gurindji Walk-Off, it was arguably the birth of the national land rights movement in Australia. The events of this time and place have significance for me as a Gurindji/Malngin/Mudburra woman, through my direct family connection to the area, and through my family’s experience as members of the Stolen Generations,” said Brenda L. Croft, curator and participating artist. Croft developed the exhibition through practice-led research with her father’s community, Karungkarni Art and Culture Aboriginal Corporation, UNSW Galleries and UNSW Art & Design. As a part of this, Croft retraced the Gurindji ‘walk-off’ steps in homage to those before her, who made the 22-kilometre journey half a century ago. “I was motivated to develop this exhibition in partnership with Karungkarni artists and Gurindji community members in tribute to those whose profound communal act of courage, resilience and determination changed the course of history.” Croft said.

  • Aboriginal Art Festival, Australia: New Generation of Central Desert Artists Captivating the Art World by Kathy Marks
    Aboriginal art festival, Australia: New generation of Central Desert artists captivating the art world By Kathy Marks Traveller, 11 September 2015 http://www.traveller.com.au/aboriginal-art--a-new-generation-of-central-desert-artists-gjeapv The sun-bleached scene is straight out of an Albert Namatjira painting: a dry creek bed in an ochre landscape dotted with rocky outcrops and stately ghost gums. But we’re not at Hermannsburg, the former Lutheran mission near Alice Springs where the celebrated Aboriginal artist produced his pastel-hued watercolours, but 500 kilometres to the south, where Namatjira’s great-grandson, Vincent, has settled after a turbulent early life marked by family tragedy and cultural dislocation. The 32-year-old is among a new generation of Central Desert artists whose work will be one of the highlights of the inaugural Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art in Adelaide next month. He lives at Indulkana, one of a dozen communities sprinkled across the remote, beautiful and troubled Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia’s far north-west. It’s an area which, as a lover of Aboriginal desert art, I’ve been hankering to visit for years. Now I’m rattling along a rough gravel road with the manager of Indulkana’s art centre, Beth Conway, who whips up clouds of red dust as she expertly dodges potholes and a pack of wild horses skittering across our path. We’re travelling with Nici Cumpston, the festival’s artistic director, and Nick Mitzevich, director of the Art Gallery of South Australia.
