As Too Deadly: Ten Years of Tarnanthi comes to a close, we mark the end of an exhibition shaped by deep cultural knowledge, artistic excellence and generosity. Beginning with a powerful launch on North Terrace, the exhibition unfolded through works created by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists nationwide.
We thank the artists, communities and collaborators whose contributions made this milestone exhibition possible, and everyone who took the time to engage, reflect and connect with the works.

'Before Captain Cook, before whitefellas came, Aboriginal people always knew their Country, and their sacred sites. That’s why we’re painting over the names of places, and the borders and boundaries on the maps – they’re not ours, we know our own land.'
In Tjukurpa Kunpu Mulapa, Mumu Mike Williams and Sammy Dodd spoke to an unbroken lineage of Aṉangu knowledge, an understanding of Country that predates borders.
Here, the artists have painted over Australia Post mailbags using motifs that frame the works as acts of cultural assertion: using language, material and image to reaffirm Aṉangu sovereignty, continuity and authority over Country.
See Tjukurpa Kunpu Mulapa in Too Deadly: Ten Years of Tarnanthi until 18 Jan 2026.
