Surrounded by Time with a Canary in a Coal Mine

Surrounded by Time with a Canary in a Coal Mine aims to capture the fragility of our environment and the urgency of conservation. By juxtaposing historical illustrations of endangered species with their current plight, the objective is to create a poignant narrative that evokes both nostalgia and concern. 1-23 February 2025.

Ethan-james Kotiau | Dandhi - Grounded

Dandhi means “Grounded” in my language, Gunggari. This exhibition is about being connected to the land, the waterways, and our culture. It’s about remembering where we come from - our roots, our language - and how that gives us strength. When we stay grounded in those things, it’s like building on a solid foundation. We can look ahead, but it’s always with our past in mind. These works reflect that balance between holding onto our traditions and growing from them, showing the positive impact it has on us and the generations to come.
