In Conversation with Sidney McMahon

The sculptural forms within Sidney McMahon's exhibition Sixty nine speak to the architecture of the home, engaging with domestic spaces as a means to consider how care and rupture coexist, how desire and mourning blur, and how queer intimacy reclaims space within familiar cycles of loss, pleasure, and transformation.

To delve deeper into these ideas, join our In Conversation at Verge, at which Sidney will chat to a Sydney College of the Arts student about Sixty nine within the exhibition space.

Free food and drink provided. All Welcome.
