Artist Talk & Morning Tea with Jim Filmer

Join us at The Condensery for an artist talk and morning tea with Jim Filmer!

Currently exhibiting work in The Condensery’s inaugural Harvest Biennial Volatile Terrain, Jim Filmer in his new series unveils the profound transformation of Mairwar, known colonially as the Brisbane River, in the wake of Wivenhoe Dam’s construction.

By interweaving contemporary ground-level photographs with archival aerial imagery, the artwork presents a layered and multifaceted perspective of a landscape, which through government intervention has irrevocably changed. 

Come along to this artist talk to learn more about Jim Filmer’s longstanding interest in photography, as well as his research on the Wivenhoe Dam’s construction process and subsequent submergence of histories beneath the dam’s waters.

Registrations are essential for catering purposes.
