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.

Nature Festival’s opening night event will feature art, music and talks. Part of the opening will also feature a group exhibition of works exploring buffel grass, environmental change and our evolving relationship with landscape.

This exhibition features visual artists from Tutti Arts who will present new works developed through research and exchange with scientists and field researchers, exploring Buffel grass’s dire impact on Country, culture and biodiversity. Created in response to the themes of Silent Country, these works bring the artists’ distinctive perspectives to urgent questions of ecological change, care and the future of Country. Tutti artists participating in this research project and exhibition include: Lucia Birch, Banjobe Hunt, Charlie Taplin, Jacko Hooper, Megan Long, Nathan Dolphin and Nathan Smith.
