Together, let’s celebrate uplifting community.
The ³ÉÈË´óƬ kicks off its 150th celebrations with Kaurna Day - Tirkanthi - Ngutu - Taikurrinthi (Learning – Knowledge - Be united together), a day to immerse yourself and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and culture. A sunrise smoking ceremony begins a day of music, dance, storytelling, and food including a limited number of complimentary native inspired breakfast boxes at the North Terrace campus for those who attend.Ìý
Kaurna Day is a community event and everyone is welcome! Join us on 27 February, 7 am–5 pm, as we strengthen the connection between the ³ÉÈË´óƬ and the Kaurna People. Whether you come for an hour or come for the day, there’s plenty to explore and discover: community stalls, performances by First Nations artists from the Centre of Aboriginal Studies in Music, student presentations, and collaborative information sessions facilitated by Wirltu Yarlu.
We will also have traditional games and cultural workshops by Deadly Mentorz, live artmaking by Booke Rigney, cooking demonstrations by Creative Native & Youth Inc., and musical performances by Shellie Morris, Tilly Tjala Thomas, and Corey Theatre. And don’t miss getting up close and personal with local native South Australian animals and wildlife from Animals Anonymous!
Kaurna Day will be a day to honour and celebrate First Nations people and culture.
Together, let’s celebrate uplifting community.
