We are back and proud to present our first show:
EXCHANGE showcases new works by eight First Nations artists based in Naarm, spanning photography, drawing, installation, glass, multimedia, sculpture, and weaving. The exhibition explores how knowledge, materials, and practice move between people and generations, revealing the ever-shifting currents of exchange: its echoes, its entanglements, and its endless unfolding.
For First Nations artists, exchange is more than transaction - it is responsibility, shaped by permission, tradition, and reciprocity. Traversing oceans and Country, artists reclaim, reinterpret, and honour cultural lineages. Through collaboration - with ancestors, peers, and contemporary forms - EXCHANGE uncovers both mutual understandings and distorted relationships. Each exchange carrying a myriad of obligations - to return home, to culture, to Country, to archives, to resistance, to language, to practice, and to family…
Exhibiting artists include: Maree Clarke, Lisa Couzens, Vicki Couzens, Kirsten Garner Lyttle, Brian Martin, Yhonnie Scarce, Frances Tapueluelu, and Wani Toaishara.
Opening Sat 5th April,2pm
with our Open Community Day to Balam Balam Place.
We are excited to be participating in this years Yirramboi Festival.
