Community

Opening Friday 12 June 6-8pm

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.

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