Kumangka Purka | An Exhibition Celebrating the Elders of Ngani Pari-Arra

Located on Kaurna Country in Stepney, Ngani Pari-Arra Cultural Centre is a culturally significant space for truth-telling, connection, and healing. Formerly known as the Otherway Centre, it has long served as a hub for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in South Australia.

In July 2025, the Centre was officially renamed Ngani Pari-Arra - a Kaurna phrase meaning ‘Being together near the river’ - during a special NAIDOC Week event celebrating its revitalisation and renewed purpose.

Guided by Uncle in Residence, Uncle Les Wanganeen, Ngani Pari-Arra continues to evolve as a welcoming, culturally safe space for Aboriginal people and organisations.

NAIDOC Week LogoThe Centre is home to regular Elders groups, cultural programs, and workforce support initiatives. This exhibition is a celebration of the Centre and its Elders.

 

Welcome to NAIDOC.

We acknowledge all First Peoples of the beautiful lands on which we live and celebrate their enduring knowledge and connections to Country. We honour the wisdom of and pay respect to Elders past and present.
