Tandanya
What’s on
Tandanya is reawakening as a living cultural engine and future-ready cultural anchor — grounded on Kaurna Country, nationally significant, and led by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural ambition.
Here, culture will be seen, heard, shared and lived — through knowledge, creativity, community, practice and exchange.
Tandanya’s relaunched program will be unveiled in 2027. In the meantime, this page will share selected events and gatherings at Tandanya, alongside a curated directory of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural experiences across South Australia.
About Tandanya
Founded by community in 1989 on Kaurna Country, Tandanya is Australia’s first national Aboriginal cultural institute and the oldest Aboriginal-owned and managed multi-arts centre of its kind in Australia.
For more than three decades, Tandanya has held a powerful place in Australia’s cultural landscape — as a place of Aboriginal leadership, public presence, cultural expression and exchange.
Created to share our culture, heritage and stories on our own terms, Tandanya’s founding purpose remains as vital today as it was then.
