Guest Info
  • Tjaka are a trio from Meanjin/Brisbane comprised of brothers Geoff and Jake Fabila and Felix Fogarty. ‘Tjaka’ is derived from ‘Tjakamarra’, the skin name given to the Fabila brothers, who are descendants of the Jabirr Jabirr tribe in the Western Australian Kimberley. Fusing electronic and hip-hop with ancestral influences, their music is both contemporary and connected to their Aboriginal heritage. Tjaka have cemented their reputation as an unmissable live act, performing at festivals nationally and internationally, including Splendour in the Grass and Dark Mofo, and Pasiwali Festival, Taiwan.

First Thursdays

The Institute of Modern Art acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land upon which the IMA now stands, the Jagera, Yuggera, Yugarapul, and Turrbal people. We offer our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the first artists of this country. In the spirit of allyship, the IMA will continue to work with First Nations people to celebrate, support, and present their immense past, present, and future contribution to artistic practice and cultural expression.
