Tutti Arts

We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the place now called South Australia, and all First Peoples living and working on this land. We celebrate the history and contemporary creativity of the world’s oldest living culture and pay respect to Elders – past and present. We acknowledge Kaurna, Peramangk and Ngadjuri peoples on whose lands our events and activities are imagined, planned and held. This always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Disjunction

Projects

Disjunction is a disability-led digital platform, aiming to bring contemporary arts into dialogue with disability arts practice. Disjunction was created by Tutti Arts and officially launched on 2 August 2024.

The focus of Disjunction is on creative encounters between disabled and non-disabled artists, through collaborations, commissions, and exhibition-making. It draws on Tutti’s pilot project Reaching Out where three learning disabled and neurodivergent visual artists from Tutti’s studios worked side-by-side with non-disabled peers to artistically respond to leading cultural institutions – the Art Gallery of South Australia, South Australian Museum and Carrick Hill.

The Disjunction platform contains articles about projects, collaborations, ideas and opportunities that underline disabled and non-disabled artists working together.

Visitors to Disjunction are encouraged to engage and contribute with discussion topics like:

  • What is art?
  • What does it mean to be an artist?
  • Who can be an artist?

Disjunction was funded by Creative Australia and Arts South Australia. Disjunction has drawn on the work of many creatives and the partnership of a number of leading institutions. Tutti would like to acknowledge and thank:
