Description

You're invited to the opening of:

Unwavering

Unmistakably Strong. Undeniably Fierce.

Opening night | Thursday 9 July 2026 | 6.00 pm

10 July - 30 August 2026

We warmly invite you to the opening night of Unwavering, a major exhibition curated by Yolngu artist and printmaker Ruby Djikarra Alderton.

Fourteen artists from Spinifex Hill Studio in South Hedland bring together their work to Perth.

The exhibition is a celebration of the unwavering strength and fierceness of Aboriginal women living in the Pilbara. Art centres like Spinifex Hill Studio play a pivotal role in the lives of Aboriginal and Islander communities: they are places of belonging, safe spaces for self-expression, environments for healing, and sites of generational exchange and learning.

Although our lives may be riddled with heaviness, pain, trauma, grief, we as artists have chosen to express and continue to heal ourselves from these harsh realities with a gentle, tender, soft palette.

- Ruby Djikarra Alderton

Unwavering brings together works by

Doreen Chapman, Gloria, Lena Willalang, Rekeshia Goodwin, Gladys Kuru Bidu, Denise Solly, Raylene Button Gordon, Maywokka (Mayiwalku) Chapman, Mulyatjinki (Muljadingi) Marney, Lorna Dawson, Crystal Gardiner, Daisy Tinker, Maggie Green, and Ruby Djikarra Alderton.

Unwavering runs 10 July to 30 August 2026 at FORM Gallery, Claremont.
