  • – 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.

  • The Creation of the Torrens : a History of Adelaide's River to 1881
    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.

  • Sa Arts- Strategic Directions and Fresh Ideas
    SA ARTS- STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS AND FRESH IDEAS STEVEN MARSHALL, STATE LIBERAL LEADER “The arts sector in South Australia is internationally renowned as innovative, vibrant and varied. The State Liberals are committed to seeing all our creative industries thrive and grow.” Steven Marshall State Liberal Leader SOUTH AUSTRALIAN ARTS INDUSTRY Strategic directions and fresh ideas South Australia was once regarded as our nation’s most creative state. 1Adelaide and our regional centres continue to be home to numerous festivals, arts companies, cultural institutions, artists, administrators and creatives who make up our vital arts and creative sector, and whose creative endeavours enlarge and enrich our life, and help us all to celebrate our sense of identity, heritage and cultural diversity. However, after 12 years of Labor our arts and creative community is only just holding its head above water. The Weatherill Labor Government has taken an ad-hoc approach to arts policy. Its lack of a strategic plan for the industry has led to intermittent funding. The drip-feed of State Government funding and excessive red tape has kept arts organisations tied up in paper work and unsure about their economic viability from year to year. A Marshall Liberal Government is committed to seeing our arts and creative industries thrive and grow. We want South Australia to be a place where arts organisations and creative businesses are able to grow and network, be sustainable and plan for the future with confidence. A strong arts and creative sector is able to employ new artists and practitioners, produce new works, collaborate creatively and contribute as critical, creative participants to the culture, tourism and economic drivers of South Australia.
