About the exhibition
For Fringe 2026 we are excited to present Kosh-Chenar a new exhibition by Nadera Rasulova developed through our Visual Arts Studio Residency program, presented with support from Drs Geoff Martin and Sorayya Mahmood Martin.
The exhibition title refers to the Uzbek plane tree, a longstanding symbol of resilience and continuity in Central Asia. Nadera draws on the cultural lineage of handwoven ikat, its motifs, colours, and tribal symbolism while reflecting both Australian and Central Asian landscapes.
Through large-scale abstract oil paintings, she examines how visual traditions migrate, adapt, and settle in new contexts. Rather than reconstructing inherited narratives, Nadera charts the points where cultural memory, place, and personal experience converge. Her palette and mark-making evoke the tonal shifts of desert light, the rhythm of woven textiles, and the layered terrain of diasporic identity.
‘It’s a conversation between inherited culture and the land I live on; a meditation on memory, belonging, and identity,’ she notes. ‘Kosh-Chenar is an exploration of the spaces we inherit and the ones we forge. It reflects the quiet work of reconciling where you come from with where you are, and finding new ground between the two.’
