Connecting To Country
The aim of Ku Arts is to support a strong and vibrant Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander visual arts sector. They have a 25-year history of providing advocacy, support services, creative skills and professional development opportunities to Aboriginal arts communities across South Australia, lobbying on behalf of its membership on a range of issues including sustainable funding, employment opportunities and major infrastructure upgrades for art centres. Their WOMADelaide residency, from Saturday to Monday at the festival, will feature Aboriginal arts and crafts workshops – in weaving, gumnut artistry, wood and soap carving, language and more – and performances, sharing the richness of Aboriginal culture with audiences of all ages.
