Fruzsi Kenez - SOURCE AND STREAM (THE RIVER FLOWS BOTH WAYS) - Artist In Residence exhibition

Across their six week residency Kenez drew a parallel between their hometown of Szeged, bisected by the Tisza, and often called ‘the most Hungarian river’, and the Ngankipari, sacred to Kaurna.

Join us at the launch Saturday 27 September 2-4pm.

Both magic rivers embody the metaphor of maternal connection and matriarchal lineage for their traditional people. It is this unique convergence that the artist is seeking to explore through traditional Hungarian poetry and ceramics an outcome underpinned by ongoing, meaningful conversation and engagement with Ngankipari.
