The National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, known as Tandanya, was established in 1989. Tandanya is a visionary and vibrant place for all to explore and experience contemporary and traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural expression, through the performing and visual arts. The Tandanya shop sells and exhibits a comprehensive range of authentic Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, craft, books, clothing, fabric, music and yidakis (didgeridoo) and the 147 tiered seated Tandanya Theatre often hosts theatre, dance and film events.
