‘Here’s Something I’ve Been Wanting To Show You’ - Design Hub Gallery Opening Celebration

Celebrate the opening of ‘Here’s Something I’ve Been Wanting To Show You’, curated by Cathy Doe, Mark Edgoose, Kirsten Haydon and Sarah Lockey at Design Hub Gallery. 

This exhibition brings together a group of RMIT's Gold and Silversmithing students and alumni from 2018 to the present, showcasing works that reflect a diverse range of experiences and personal journeys. 

These artists all studied just prior to and during the unique and challenging times of the pandemic, and this exhibition marks the first time many of these objects will be publicly presented. Perhaps due to the nature of the circumstances in which they were made, their works often reveal private moments and share deep reflections. 

As a collection of works, ‘Here's Something I've Been Wanting to Show You’ makes manifest and showcases the innovative practices, solidarity and caring relationships that underpin RMIT's Gold and Silversmithing studios. This project communicates how creativity, community and art come together—an ongoing conversation that continues to shape the future of this collective. 

On Friday 20 September, join us from 5:30PM to participate in the Rad Pav Pin Swap and a student-led runway show, before celebrating the exhibition with the curators, artists and RMIT community. 

This exhibition has been produced by RMIT University at Design Hub Gallery with the support of the RMIT University Student Union. It is presented as part of the Radiant Pavilion Contemporary Jewellery and Object Biennial.
