Art Gallery

For our current unit of inquiry we went to the Art Gallery of South Australia to see the TARNANTHI exhibition and other Indigenous art. It is the inaugural Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art.

TARNANTHI, pronounced tar-nan-dee, is a Kaurna word from the traditional owners of the Adelaide Plains. It means to come forth or appear – like the sun and the first emergence of light, or a seed sprouting. For many cultures, first light signifies new beginnings.
