The Dreaming Tent

The Dreaming Tent at the South Australian Museum will create a space for cultural learning and sharing.

The Tent will be used for storytelling, readings by Aboriginal authors and two public forums. The first panel discussion, Black words white spaces (download poster), will focus on the representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and characters in literature. The second discussion, Bite Me (download poster), a gallery floor talk in the Flinders University Art Museum at the State Library, will focus on the breadth, depth and evolution of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.

The activities in the Tent will be complimented by tours of the Museum’s Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery (1:30pm and 2:45pm), the Flinders University City Gallery at the State Library and the Art Gallery of South Australia's collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.

Hands on workshops for schools at the Museum
The Museum will offer workshops for junior and primary school students in the Australian Aboriginal Cultures Gallery with the museum’s Education team at 10am, 11am and 12pm. The workshops will include 30 minutes hands on session with artefacts and 30 minutes to explore the Gallery. Places are very limited. Bookings are essential through Christina at the Museum on 8207 7429.
