About the exhibition

For SALA 2026, we are excited to present Held, a new group exhibition featuring new work by First Nations artists Joeulla Coulthard (Adnyamathna, Kuyani), Juanella Donovan (Adnyamathanha, Luritja and Arrernte), and Lisa Khan (Yankunytjatjara/ Antakirinja/ Pitjantjatjara).

This exhibition explores the artists' practices across painting, weaving, sculpture and ceramics. As mothers, each of these artists plays a vital role in caring for family and caring for Country. We know that mothers hold so much strength and tenderness, veracity and knowledge.

These qualities are passed down through generation from mother to child, and for these women, their art practices reflect the ongoing practice of holding and sharing knowledge and stories.

This exhibition is presented with support from the City of Adelaide’s Arts and Community Arts and Cultural grants and Ku Arts.
