Celebrating the 20th anniversary of OUR MOB, the annual contemporary visual art exhibition featuring works by South Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, Adelaide Festival Centre plays host to BIGGEST MOB Family Day this Sunday 27 September.

Headlined by First Nations band Mulga Bore Hard Rock, who take inspiration from glam rockers KISS, the free family event also features local teen DJ Angel spinning tunes and pop-R&B vocal trio OPULENCE taking to the stage.

The day also includes workshops, face painting, food trucks, a yarning circle, a sensory space provided by Autism SA and a slew of family-friendly activities. Punters can also pick up handmade goods from local First Nations artists at the Next Gen Mob Market.

“OUR MOB is deeply valued and keenly anticipated each year by artists, community and the wider arts sector," says First Nations Programming Executive Celia Coulthard. "We have been delighted to celebrate our 20th anniversary with the biggest year yet – culminating in a free concert from rock legends Mulga Bore Hard Rock at BIGGEST MOB Family Day this weekend."

Speaking on the event, Adelaide Festival Centre CEO Kate Gould adds, "Hundreds of contemporary First Nations artists from across South Australia have taken part in OUR MOB over the past 20 years. We are proud to mark the significance of this 20th anniversary with BIGGEST MOB and welcome everyone to our venues this weekend for a huge day of free family fun."

This weekend is also the last chance to experience BIGGEST MOB exhibitions, including the collaborative exhibition Connected by Wilay Designs in Artspace and As Long As We Weave by Carly Tarkari Dodd in the Adelaide Railway Station Historic Phone Booths.

Other exhibits running longer include the poetry exhibition defi-Nations in The Galleries, Festival Theatre, which ends Sunday 4 October and UV Songlines: Illuminating Young Stories, highlighting seven stories from next-generation First Nations arts, which is on display in the Ian and Pamela Wall Gallery until Sunday 8 November.
