OUR PROJECTS
Ku Arts oversaw a 4-week intensive skills development program in Ceduna across marine debris weaving techniques to create a large-scale sculpture that was presented at the Tarnanthi Art Fair as the Public Program.
Supported by the 2023 Tarnanthi Festival, Ku Arts is working with Galinyala Barngarla - Port Lincoln artists on developing a range of screen printed textiles for sale at the Tarnanthi Art Fair 2023.
Continuing textile explorations, Iwiri Artists participated in workshops across February and March 2023, to experiment with new techniques and build on what they had previously learnt.
Ku Arts is returning to Copley to deliver a sustainable program of skills exchange and confidence building across ceramic techniques.
Ku Arts featured at WOMADelaide 2023. Over the festival Ku Arts presented hands on workshops sharing the richness of Aboriginal culture with national and international audiences of all ages.
In November 2022, Ku Arts collaborated with Iwiri Aboriginal Corporation (Iwiri) in delivering a screen printing project for Iwiri members in their studio based in Port Adelaide. The project was funded by The Australia Council for the Arts, Flourish program.
Ku Arts delivered the Strong Arts Program in Coober Pedy in November 2022. The Ku Arts, Strong Arts Program provided opportunities for First Nation artists to access information and build artists’ knowledge and confidence about navigating the art world.
