Kaurna knowledge holders and experts have been invited by the South Australian Museum to express their interest in joining a new Kaurna Expert Focus Working Group to help guide the development of the Kaurna Living Cultural Garden Project at the South Australian Museum.
Led by Kaurna people and supported by the Kaurna Yerta Aboriginal Corporation (KYAC), the project will transform the Museum's front lawn into a culturally appropriate space on Kaurna Country for teaching, learning, ceremony, events and community gathering. The project will also acknowledge the Museum's history and its impact on First Nations peoples.
The Working Group will contribute specialist knowledge and ideas to help create a welcoming, healthy and culturally inclusive space. Expressions of interest are sought from Kaurna experts and knowledge holders with experience in Indigenous Ecology, Education, Kaurna Language, Art, Health and Wellbeing, and Indigenous Science.
Co-design workshops will be held between August and December 2026, with participants remunerated at $100 per hour for their contribution.
To apply, submit an Expression of Interest (EoI) including your contact details, at least one referee, and up to 300 words outlining your experience and area of expertise to garden@samuseum.sa.gov.au
Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on Friday 4 September 2026.
