BirdSong Exhibition Opening

A gathering of women, birds and voices — Birdsong

There is something about birds. The way they move through the world without asking permission, carrying what needs to be carried, crossing distances that seem impossible. This exhibition began with that feeling and slowly gathered a group of women around it.

Birdsong brings together painting, drawing, photography, ceramics, textile, video and sound in a conversation that has been building for months. It began around a kitchen table and moved outside under the sky on the peninsula, in studios and gardens and morning routines. The artists come from different places and different cultures: from this ancient Australian country and from Athens and from the quiet of everyday life. What they share is a way of speaking through making, through material, through forms that shift and refuse to stay fixed.

On the night: delicious nibbles, welcome to country by Tarni Free, a musical performance by Christelise de Graaf and Meredith Connie and a meet and greet with the featured artists.

Featuring Rebecca Marshall, Meredith Connie, Tarni Free, Rebecca Odgers, Enid Marshall, Christina Darras.
