As we increasingly recognise the importance of designing and connecting with Country as an industry and community, the question is no longer ‘why’ but ‘how’.
Tarrkarri – a Centre for first Nations Cultures is a new paradigm that showcases the past, present and future of Aboriginal cultures while supporting contemporary art practices and events across disciplines.
Grounded on Kaurna land, the design at Lot Fourteen originates from the Aboriginal conception of the elements that link us to place: earth, land and sky.
