subculturesCelebrating the subcultures that thrive within and enrich our community
West Gallery, Belconnen Arts Centre
Opening: 6pm Friday 5 December 2025
Exhibition: 5 December 2025 – 1 February 2026
"subcultures" is an open exhibition curated by Red Saunders that brings to light the rich tapestry of alternative identities, communities, and expressions that flourish outside mainstream society.
From punk and goth to skateboarding and street art, creators from across Australia celebrate the creativity, resistance, and innovation of those who carve out spaces of belonging in subversive ways.
Through a mix of mediums including painting, photography, illustration, and collage, subcultures aims to reflect on how fashion, music, political ideals, and shared lifestyles converge to create powerful subcultural identities. This diverse exhibition captures the unique aesthetic markers of these groups but also their stories of solidarity, marginalisation, and rebellion.
"subcultures" is a tribute to the underground movements that challenge the status quo and enrich the cultural landscape through their bold, alternative visions of community and identity.
