Tarnanthi at AGSA

Tarnanthi at AGSA presents an up-to-the-minute survey of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, featuring ambitious and innovative works of art by artists from around the nation.

A major feature in 2023 is the first survey exhibition of celebrated Western Aranda painter Vincent Namatjira – a satirical chronicler of Australian identity whose works offer a wry look at the politics of history, power and leadership from a contemporary Aboriginal perspective.

The Tarnanthi Festival begins at AGSA with a public celebration. AGSA also hosts the insightful panpa-panpalya ideas conference led by notable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, curators, thinkers and writers, as well as an extensive array of talks, tours, performances, workshops, creative activities and education programs.
