Platform Arts invites you to the opening event of our first thematic of 2026.

what it means to remember brings together artists whose practices engage with memory and place, revealing how such explorations offer layered and diffractive networks that respond to—and at times, remedy—the passage of time.

Gallery One: গল্পের সেতু - Story Bridge by Anindita Banerjee

Gallery Two: I will be the waves and you will be a strange shore, by Shivanjani Lal

Performance Space: A People's Guide to (North) Geelong installation and floor talk with Penne Thornton

The thematic launch includes:

light catering and complimentary drink on arrival
a guided walk-through of the exhibitions with Anindita Banerjee and Shivanjani Lal
a floor talk in the Performance Space with Platform Arts senior producer Penne Thornton, exploring a collaborative audiovisual installation that celebrates the stories and places of the Norlane neighbourhood, in a project called A People's Guide.

Across traditional and experimental forms, the artists in what it means to remember trace how memory is recorded, expressed, and reimagined. Together, their works propose art as a vessel for holding, translating, and renewing what might otherwise be lost—illuminating the ways migration, belonging, and post-colonial experience continue to shape our sense of home.

Platform Arts is supported by the City of Greater Geelong, Creative Victoria, Creative Australia, and the Anthony Costa Foundation.
