mimburi remembering
24th May – 17th August
Mimburi — meaning continual flow in Dungidau, the language of artist Enid Morris — embodies the stories, memories, lessons and teachings that both artists Enid Morris (Jinibara and Quandamooka) and Clea North (Mithika and Gunggari) share in this exhibition, and throughout their processes of creating.
Reflecting on continual collaborative processes, mimburi acknowledges both artists’ and their remembering in the abundance of life created within the meeting of fresh and salt waters through place, peoples and time, as they explore family memories and knowledge held within a midden.
What if we took it all back
24th May – 29th June
Presenting artists Brenda Mau (Torres Strait Islands, Mandubarra, Kalkadoon, Wuthathi and Ngadjonjii) and Jadamali Leuga (Yalanji and Somoa) have used digital media to explore alternate realities  — either a futuristic world that is void of constraints or one where strong black women take back control of colonial restraints placed on them.
