Started FridayJun 26 2026Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPIX) Kaurna Miyurnathrough
Art Gallery of South AustraliaWebsiteLocated in Gallery 7 of Art Gallery of South Australia
This tintype photographic series, CIPX Kaurna Miyurna, celebrates important members of the Kaurna community in Tarntanya (Adelaide), on Kaurna Yarta.
These works form part of the Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX), an international Indigenous portraiture project first conceived by Will Wilson, a Diné (Navajo) artist based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA. The CIPX project invites Indigenous photographers from around the world to create portraits of members of their local communities using the nineteenth-century tintype process. Kaurna artists Damien Shen and James Tylor have contributed to this contemporary project, which seeks to recontextualise early photographic documentation of Kaurna people produced by European colonists and anthropologists in South Australia during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
These CIPX portraits differ significantly from earlier images of Aboriginal people taken by Europeans. The project is designed to prioritise agency and respect for contemporary Indigenous sitters. Historically, European colonial photographers controlled the visual representation of Aboriginal subjects and retained ownership of the original images.
The CIPX process centres the Indigenous sitter’s autonomy. Participants have control over how they are represented, and the original tintype photographs are returned to the sitter. With the permission of each sitter, Shen and Tylor exhibit reproductions of the works, presented in large scale on aluminium.

Started FridayJul 31 2026James Tylor: Turrangka…in the shadowsthrough
Art Gallery of South AustraliaWebsiteLocated in Galleries 8-11
Turrangka…in the shadows surveys over a decade of James Tylor’s practice and brings together the most comprehensive selection of his unique daguerreotypes, expansive digital photographic series and hand-made Kaurna cultural objects.
The exhibition title is drawn from a Kaurna word, highlighting a significant ongoing aspect of Tylor’s practice: the learning and sharing of his Indigenous language. As well as shadow, turra also translates to reflection, image and mirror.
At the core of Tylor’s practice is a continuously innovative program of photographic intervention, disrupting the image to redact or highlight visual information. He systematically alters the reading of Country by excising information from the photographic print or inscribing language and place-names onto the surface of his daguerreotypes.
These photographs provide a glimpse into Tylor’s broader practice of recreating Kaurna cultural artefacts, architecture and ephemera. Antiquated analogue photographic processes including Becquerel daguerreotypes and hand-tinting are also used to generate a new archive of pseudo-historical images. Tylor’s recreations point to the absence of these images from the hegemonic depiction of colonial Australia’s visual history.
A UNSW Galleries, Sydney exhibition, presented in partnership with Art Gallery of South Australia. Presented during SALA Festival.

Started SundayAug 16 2026AUKUS Public Enquiry - submissionsthrough
Online EventWebsiteThe AUKUS deal was conceived in secret and with deception — and continues to be shrouded in secrecy despite the incredibly high stakes and massive cost. Our government has already spent $10 billion of our taxes on US and UK shipyards at a time when much of the world is in conflict and Australians are suffering from a cost-of-living crisis.
A group of former MPs, retired military and naval officers, leading strategists and academics, human rights lawyers and union leaders are committing to an independent Public Inquiry into AUKUS. This Inquiry is coordinated by the Australian Peace and Security Forum (APSF) — ensuring it is grounded in expertise, independence, and a commitment to serious evidence-based examination.
We invite written, oral, and video submissions from Australian citizens, organisations, and those in the Pacific and wider region with an interest in the AUKUS security partnership. All views are welcome and anonymous submissions are accepted. Submissions close September 1st, 2026.

GEORGE MEGALOGENIS three shocksWebsite
Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century Join us for a compelling discussion with George Megalogenis as he unpacks Three Shocks: Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century. In conversation with journalist Tory Shepherd, George will explore how the federal elections of 2022 and 2025 were an overdue wake-up call to three shocks that have reshaped our national identity:
For the first time since federation, we have a population that’s majority migrants and their children. Professional women are now the largest segment of the workforce, replacing blue-collar men. On the world stage, both our allies and our key trade partners have proven unreliable. In an era defined by uncertainty and possibility, what do these shocks mean for our political landscape? Which forces are driving change, and how are political leaders responding? George sheds light on the strategies, debates and decisions that will shape the nation’s future.
Imprints Booksellers will be selling copies of Three Shocks: Who We Are Becoming in the 21st Century in the Auditorium foyer on the night of the event.
Presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre
