The widely celebrated and critically acclaimed Tarnanthi: Festival of Contemporary Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Art will close on Monday, 27 January 2020, making this week the final opportunity for audiences to experience the exhibitions and activities at AGSA.
Rhana Devenport ONZM, Director AGSA says, ‘It is an honour to work with the immensely talented team and artists to bring AGSA’s remarkably ambitious and successful flagship project Tarnanthi to new audiences. I urge audiences not to miss this truly unique and important festival of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. Tarnanthi’s ever-growing popularity highlights the universal language of art to communicate across cultures.’ Rhana Devenport said.
The final weekend of Tarnanthi activities will take place on Sunday, 26th of January, featuring screenings of artist Sandra Saunders’ documentary, as well as the short documentary series Deadly Family Portraits. There will be live musical performances from north-east Arnhem Land group Garrangali Band and multi-award winning Aṉangu electro-soul duo Electric Fields.
