Carly Tarkari Dodd is an artist and curator of Kaurna, Narungga, and Ngarrindjeri descent, known for creating contemporary woven jewellery and sculptures. She was taught traditional weaving by Ngarrindjeri Elder Aunty Ellen Trevorrow at a young age. Dodd’s work explores First Nations activism, cultural resilience, and highlights the contrast of Indigenous experiences with forms of colonial power. Her work has gained recent attention with features at Australian Fashion Week on the David Jones Indigenous Fashion Projects Runway and in Vogue Australia magazine.

In 2018, Dodd was honoured as South Australia’s NAIDOC Young Person of the Year. In 2023, she was a finalist for the inaugural MAKE Award: Biennial Prize for Innovation in Australian Craft and Design, and in 2024, she was nominated for two National Indigenous Fashion Awards. Carly was an ACE Studio Artist in 2024.
