Meet the artists in Kungka Kuṉpu (Strong Women)

March 4, 2023 | 10:30 am11:30 am AEDT

Join us in a special walkthrough of the exhibition Kungka Kunpu (Strong Women) and meet senior artists from the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands. Working individually and collaboratively, these women leaders share an irrepressible desire to create ground-breaking works, deeply embedded with cultural knowledge and rich in ceremonial song and performance. Presented as part of AGSA’s acclaimed Tarnanthi program, this exhibition reflects the adaptive genius, energy and dynamism of Aṉangu culture and the inspiring tale of women supporting each other across generations.

Free bookings prefered

Tarnanthi is presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia with Principal Partner BHP and support from the Government of South Australia.

The Kungka Kuṉpu touring exhibition has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program
