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.

SundaySep 13 2026[Weekly cook-up/meal giveaways] The Community Kitchen at Whitmore SquareWebsite
Serving the community every Sunday in Whitmore Square since 2019.
Hundreds of meals each week to people, many of whom would go without, if not for the tireless work of volunteers.
As one volunteer said, “Services that get funded with millions of dollars from the government and charge fees for use don’t stack up to what we, the community, achieve every Sunday.” How do we know this? We hear it directly from the people who drop by for a meal, including young and older workers, parents, people experiencing homelessness, uni students, and the underemployed.
It’s always nice to have friends drop by, visit us at The Community Kitchen and learn how to make cheap, nutritious and tasty meals to combat food insecurity and homelessness. Contact The Community Kitchen via social media to learn more about volunteering.

MondaySep 14 2026[Petition & inquiry submissions] End Strip Searching of ChildrenWebsite
End Strip Searching of Children All children must be treated with dignity. Children should never be strip searched.
But right now, across the country, children are still regularly subjected to violent and degrading strip searches by police and prison authorities. For children who have already experienced violence, sexual abuse or trauma, this invasive practice can be profoundly retraumatising.
That’s why Lidia Thorpe has introduced a Bill to Parliament to outlaw it.
The Crimes Amendment (Prohibiting the Strip Searching of Children) Bill 2026 would ban strip searches of anyone under 18 under any circumstances.
Children must be protected from trauma and abuse, including when they are in custody.
Make a submission to the inquiry about this Bill https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Legal_and_Constitutional_Affairs/StripSearching2026
The Senate is holding an inquiry into this Bill, and your voice can help make the case for change.
Anyone can make a submission. You can share your experiences, concerns or reasons for supporting the Bill, and this will inform the report that will be delivered to the Albanese government.
This inquiry is an opportunity for truth-telling. Your story is valuable in ensuring the truth is heard.
It is also possible to make a confidential or anonymous submission.
Submissions close: 14 September 2026

[Petition & inquiry submissions] End shackling during childbirth
End shackling during childbirth - Childbirth is sacred. But right now, across the country, people in custody can still be shackled while giving birth.
Childbirth is one of the hardest things a person can experience. Shackling people during childbirth is medically dangerous, traumatising, degrading and unnecessary.
Lidia Thorpe has introduced a Bill to Parliament to outlaw this abusive practice and create better standards for how people in custody are treated.
Make a submission to the inquiry about this Bill. https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/Legal_and_Constitutional_Affairs/Shackling_2026

SaturdaySep 19 2026Friends of Belair National ParkWebsite
Belair National Park (the Park) is 835 hectares of diverse habitats, supporting many threatened species. The Friends of Belair National Park play a critical role in the on-ground management of this incredible biodiversity. As a volunteer group, we simply don’t have the numbers to adequately cover the entirety of the Park, so every extra pair of hands really counts.
How you can help Join us at one of our regular bushcare sessions: Tuesday and Friday morning: every week, 8:30 am to 10:30 am, meet at the Green Shed (near Main Oval) before 8:30 am Saturday morning: on the third Saturday of every month, from 9:00 am to 11.00 am, meet at the Green Shed at 9:00 am Thursday evening: alternate weeks during daylight saving periods, any time between 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, locations vary. Adopt a block – work in your own area, in your own time. See below. Help us in other ways. We’re always seeking more hands for non-bushcare tasks. Everyone is welcome to come and try, you don’t need to make a regular commitment, and there are many benefits for the Park and for you. We provide all training and tools; you provide the enthusiasm. If you’re new to bushcare and don’t know how it works that’s fine, we can help you find some easily identified weeds and show you how we remove them without causing damage to the native plants we are trying to protect.
If you need more information contact Catherine Miles 0408 640 377.
