PORQUÉNO SIX (Opening Night)

PORQUÉNO SIX: Exploring a sustainable world

Why not? That’s the question PORQUÉNO [pohr-keh-noh] has been asking since 2013. Now, 10 years on, the biennial art exhibition is back in November! This year, PORQUÉNO SIX will continue to explore the boundless potential of creativity with 15 selected artists embracing the explorative attitude of 'why not’. 

The theme, An Artist Exploration of Sustainability, will inspire the daring exploration of nature, conservation, climate, renewables, waste, pollution, and our future on this planet. Artists are invited to freely express themselves through art, design and photography, while making a contribution to sustainable thinking.

This year we will be hosting our opening night on November 15th where we will have talks, music and you'll be able to immerse yourself in the artworks there and gather your own views on the theme of Sustainability.

All tickets to attend are pay what you want, these funds will be used to support us hosting the event at 107 Projects in Redfern and investing in the artists taking part.
