Long Abstract:

A special public symposium in collaboration with the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australian Museum, engaging major exhibitions in Adelaide's 2017 TARNANTHI Festival of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, and exploring a range of other current Australian Indigenous art and media projects, exhibitions, initiatives and research undertakings.

How are current curatorial and experimental art-making processes, new technologies and collaborative and sensory turns in cultural research reshaping relationships between Indigenous artists, anthropologists, major public cultural institutions, patrons and audiences in Australia?

What do the 'shifting states' of contemporary curating mean for what an artful 'shared anthropology' (Rouch) might look, sound and feel like?

Exhibition floor talks, presentations, art-response papers and conversations will explore the engagements, alignments, tensions and potentials of anthropologists, galleries, museums, Indigenous artists and art in Australia today.

Invited presenters include senior curators, artists, artist organisations, anthropologists and art writers.

One of four curated days in the Screen/Media/Art program of the conference.

Free and open to the public.

Meet outside the front doors of the South Australian Museum for a prompt 09:00 start
