OUR CURRENT PROJECTS
KINGSTON WEAVING is a weaving, yarning and sculpture project by First Nations artists of the Southeast Sonya, Sarah and Suzy Smith. Made in collaboration with the artists Deborah Twining, Tony Hannan and OSCA.
The work explores the return of water in the area through the cultural representation of animal totems as temporary sculptural outcomes – interconnecting traditional weaving techniques, language and knowledge towards the creation of a large-scale mobile art installation of enduring cultural significance.
The first ouitcome of these community created sculptures will be presented on the 3rd and 4th October as part of the 2026 Nature Festival.
TRACKS OF THE UNSEEN - LOST ROADS TO CULTURAL GATHERINGS is a documentary styled digital video storytelling project conceived and led by Narungga / Kaurna artist Jay Milera. Made in creative partnership with cinematographer Max McKinnon, First Nations Elders and OSCA.
This project captures the unseen tracks left by First Nations ancestors: the laws they upheld, the practices they honoured, the tools and techniques they used to live sustainably on Country. It explores what was traded, what was hunted, how communities gathered, and what spiritual and cultural practices were shared — particularly at Port Wakefield, a known gathering and meeting place. The first video premiered at the 2025 Tarnanthi Festival in Adelaide, South Australia.
A MONUMENT TO TRIGGS TWO is an ongoing site based participatory art project by SA artist Henry Jock Walker. This communty engaged project encourages creative thinking and environmental action through surfing. It use the iconic Triggs car park in the City of Onkaparinga and various locations across the regipn as the sites for a series of public interactive workshops and events with local surfing, artistic and residential communities.
