Curated by emerging Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, Arrernte, and Gurindji curator Marli Macumba, the TJUKURPA KUNPU (strong dreaming ) exhibition will build on the strong foundations she developed through the Ku Arts Curators Program and her debut co-curatorial project, Gathering at Light Square Gallery in 2025.
Marli’s growing curatorial practice is grounded in deep listening, cultural pride, and a steadfast commitment to elevating First Nations voices. With a strong focus on her home community in Port Augusta, she continues to champion opportunities for local artists to share their stories, celebrate culture, and strengthen intergenerational connections. This exhibition will reflect Marli’s evolving curatorial vision, one that centres community, culture, and Country.
