Through curated festival memorabilia, historical photographs, and firsthand accounts, discover how this groundbreaking festival united Aboriginal women from across South Australia to share their culture through visual arts, dance, music, theatre, and ceremony.

The exhibition honours these trailblazing women and their enduring impact on South Australian arts and culture.
