Until 19 October 2024

Adelaide Contemporary Experimental (ACE) is showing two new exhibitions, Justine Youssef’s Somewhat Eternal and Kaurna Women’s Art Collective’s Sisters of Lartelare.

Justine Youssef’s Somewhat Eternal is a multi-sensory installation, encompassing video, textiles, text, scent.

Sisters of Lartelare, led by emerging Kaurna Leader Bonny Brodie with guidance from Aunty Margaret Brodie, is an intergenerational project looking to open new understandings of Kaurna history, stories and culture connected to Yartapuulti Port Adelaide. Through focused activity and skill-sharing, the collective creates a place-responsive artwork as a powerful interruption of colonial narrative.

Both exhibitions explore connections to land and cultural practices, providing a rich multi-sensory experience for audiences. This showcase at ACE highlights the importance of understanding diverse cultural narratives and the powerful role of art in addressing historical and contemporary issues.

ACE is open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am–4pm. Entry is free.
