About the venue
Tandanya is Australia’s oldest Aboriginal-owned and managed multi-arts Centre. ‘Tandanya’ is the Kaurna word (pronounced Garna) word for ‘place of the red kangaroo’. This reflects the organisation’s ongoing commitment to honour and respect the traditional owners and custodians for the country on which Tandanya is situated. Established in 1989, Tandanya is the leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) Multi Arts and Cultural Centre. Our mission is to develop, promote and showcase the diversity of ATSI artistic practices and foster debate and discourse through an exciting program of visual and performing arts, workshops artist/curator talks, forums, cultural presentations, and film screenings.

Reviews for Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute
Karin S.
At first you may be attracted by the beautiful architecture of this building! So take your time and take some photos from outside first! We may learn much about culture inside! Very interesting for people who are interested in art, history and culture! This museum is not far from Adelaide Botanical Garden … so why not visiting it, too?
Bread and Butter
Excellent venue showcasing indigenous artists, with a large, modern auditorium fills music and theater performances. The gift shop has some excellent goodies, paintings and souvenirs that you won't find easily elsewhere. We were there on survivor day and really enjoyed the atmosphere and sincere hospitality of the organisers.
MURRAY ESKDALE
This is a great space that's within the CBD of Adelaide. It has a huge gallery space and a theatre performance space.

The Fringe event "Yabarra - Dreaming in light" is a beautiful interactive, immersive experience with an important message about how we need to wake up and think about how we treat the environment around us.
