Just Not Australian - Touring show
The origins and implications of Australian identity and national mythology are explored through the frames of immigration, satire, larrikinism and resistance.
This exhibition features work by leading local artists from different generations and media including Soda_Jerk, Vincent Namitjira, Abdul Abdullah, Cigdem Aydemir, Karla Dickens and more. The works engage critically with this moment in Australian history and the politically-loaded public discourse around what it means to be ‘unAustralian’.

LEGACY
A group exhibition featuring artwork by Pat Brassington, Liam Benson, Nina Sanadze, Cigdem Aydemir, Michelle Ripari and Emmet Davies.
"What will we leave behind?
In a time of generational change, we ask what is a ‘legacy’?
Artists are at the forefront of inciting change, but they’re equally connected to the past through their practices. In this exhibition their work opens a dialogue to consider what do we keep, what do we share, and what do we leave behind.
Presented in pairs, the works of six artists respond to the legacies that inform their lives as creatives: the visual and social languages used in their work, the shared narratives of history – many of which are being questioned by younger generations; and the legacy of the creative self."
Exhibition open | 10 September - 11 October, 2020.
