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.

Are you looking for a creative way to make new friends and connect with others who care about the environment?

Do you enjoy making things with your hands and giving old materials a new purpose?

Would you like to learn practical upcycling skills in a relaxed, welcoming space?

♻️Eco Creators Club♻️ is a hands-on workshop series for young people aged 12 – 15 years, exploring creative ways to reduce waste through upcycling and repurposing everyday items. Participants will have the opportunity to learn new skills, express their creativity and connect with others through shared making experiences. $50, bookings essentials. Fortnightly workshops

Across five workshops, participants will transform discarded and unwanted materials into unique handmade creations while discovering how small actions can help reduce waste and support a more sustainable future. The sessions will run Wednesdays fortnightly during Term 3 from 3:30pm–5:30pm at the Port Environment Centre:

22nd July – Felt Creatures 5th August – Fuzzy Sock Birds 19th August – Men’s Tie Bags 2nd September – Broken Mug to Mini Cactus Pot 16th September – Needle Felt Pictures

Located 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.

In 2016, ordinary South Australians shut down a major proposal for a nuclear waste dump in the state.

The plan to take nuclear waste from around the world and bury it in the SA outback was opposed by Mothers for a Sustainable South Australia (MOSSA) along with many other community, environment, Indigenous and trade union groups. It was then rejected by a specially formed ‘citizens jury’.

A decade later, South Australia is again being told to go nuclear via the AUKUS submarine deal, regardless of the environmental impacts, security concerns, economic costs and total lack of transparency.

What lessons does the victory over the dump hold for the fight against AUKUS, nuclear submarines, and their nuclear waste?

Join MOSSA member Senator Barbara Pocock, together with Karina Lester and Rod Campbell, as they discuss the lessons of the past and what they mean for South Australia’s nuclear future.

Please note that the venue is only accessible by stairs and does not have step-free access.

How to join: The success of the Repair Café in Campbelltown depends on community involvement. You don’t have to have repair skills to help – there are several roles available

About the workshop:

In many spaces suicide distress is discussed through a risk-averse lens that centres organisational safety over human connection. Part of having a more human approach to supporting people starts with addressing common myths and misconceptions about suicide, as well as approaching the support in a way that upholds dignity, autonomy, and human rights. This workshop aims to build the skills of attendees, is built on the foundations of lived experience wisdom and is facilitated by people with lived experience of suicide distress.

Who this workshop is for:

This workshop is for lived experience community members that want to learn skills around more compassionately supporting people in distress who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts.

At LELAN we define lived experience as having been through mental health issues and/or distress, social issues, or injustice that is so significant we have to have to reimagine and redefine ourselves, our place in the world, and our future plans [Louise Byrne & Til Wykes, 2020].

Themes covered:

common myths and misconceptions

addressing who risk-averse approaches really protects

the reality of harm caused by clinical approaches, police, and forced interventions

what it really looks like when dignity, autonomy, and human rights are upheld in responses to suicide distress

skills for connecting and supporting people in suicide distress that are centred in compassion

Structure of the day:

This is an interactive facilitated workshop that will include presentation of information by the facilitator(s), large and small group discussions and reflective exercises. The knowledge, skills and diverse experiences of participants will be drawn on to create an environment of dialogue, shared learning and community.

Workshop facilitator:

The lead facilitator for this workshop will be Emrys Temple-Heald (He/Him), Peer Training Coordinator.

You can learn more about the LELAN team at www.lelan.org.au/our-people.

*If you have not registered for the ‘Sharing Safely and for Influence’ online module, or have not completed this previously with LELAN, we encourage you to do so.

The ‘Sharing Safely and for Influence’ content will encourage reflection on how we manage our own needs and boundaries but will also explore strategies for caring for others when sharing our stories. This will provide a foundation to work from leading into the workshop days. For more information or to register for this online please click [here].

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.
