National Aboriginal Cultural Institute - Tandanya
Tandanya is a unique place to explore and experience contemporary and traditional Aboriginal cultural expression, through the performing and visual arts. Tandanya exhibits the work of emerging and established Indigenous artists.
Situated in Adelaide, it is the gateway to a better understanding of the diversity of Aboriginal people and culture. Tandanya is a place of learning.
Tandanya is the Kaurna Aboriginal name for the Adelaide city area and was for many, many thousands of years, a place for special ceremonies connected with Red Kangaroo Dreaming. Adelaide is built on Kaurna (pronounced Garn-na) land.

Our curator searches for the best quality exhibitions from all over Australia and for works that best reflect the diversity of culture and art within Indigenous communities.
