Art for Tika Tirka

To bring lightness and brightness into the residential buildings, Aboriginal Community Housing Ltd Adelaide are developing an art piece for Tika Tirka (Kaurna words for – come/stay, learn).

In this picture we’re looking at the left (or to the East) of the picture is the hills, to the right (or to the West) is the ocean, to the South the lakes the rivers, then upward to the North we’ve got the stars in the milkyway.

This work is so large, it hangs off the back of a ute. This piece represents those elements that are always around us and provide us with life and everything we need.

Neighbour Day

Aboriginal Community Housing Ltd Adelaide enjoys creating togetherness, bringing harmony through more community events like Neighbour Day. The initiative involved inviting local people in the City of Adelaide, out to the South Parklands. The event is an invitation to engage with some First Nations Karna activities. We enjoyed a smoking ceremony to Welcome people and ward off bad sprits, some boomerang throwing and then we had Middle Eastern inspired food for lunch. We had 20 odd neighbours and everybody had a memorable day.
