Samstag Museum of Art

The Samstag Museum of Art, affiliated with the University of South Australia, is a pivotal institution in Adelaide’s arts scene, known for its dynamic engagement with contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. One of the museum’s exhibitions, “The 4th National Indigenous Art Triennial: Ceremony,” curated by Hetti Perkins of the Arrernte and Kalkadoon peoples, is a testament to this engagement. This exhibition, part of the Tarnanthi Festival and the Adelaide Film Festival, showcases moving image works that explore the theme of ceremony—a central element in the creative practices of many Indigenous artists. The Samstag Museum of Art celebrates these cultural expressions through visual art, film, music, and dance, highlighting the intricate connections between ceremony, Country, culture, and community.
