Working across vectors of care, responsibility and honesty, this exhibition welcomes us into a space that demonstrates the unsettling strength and uncanny beauty of hybridity, entanglement, vulnerability and more expansive forms of belonging.

Amidst the imagination of four renowned Australian artists, whose diverse practices activate affective affordances through media and materials that test and register the emotional equilibrium of our times, we are invited to recalibrate learned behaviours and visceral responses, reconsidering how we live together on a shared planet.

From unique perspectives and traditions, each artist explores how embodiment, identity and environment shape one another. Together, they model how art can respond to the challenges of the contemporary world.
