Women of the Southwest - Photography Exhibition

Women of the Southwest - Photography Exhibition
Women of the Southwest will showcase a powerful collection of Dionne Doig's images demonstrating the depth, resilience, and beauty of feminine identity through a unique lens. On display in the Bond Store Gallery at the Old Courthouse Complex, this evocative photography exhibition represents the raw, untamed beauty of women interwoven with landscapes, textures, and symbolic elements reflecting personal narratives. Doig's artistic journey began as a birth doula, where she developed a profound sensitivity to the unspoken language of the body - expressions of surrender, resistance, and transformation. This awareness now informs her work, which transcends traditional portraiture to reveal reclamation, embodiment, and self-expression. Her work invites viewers on an exploration of identity, sensuality, and sovereignty - where each image becomes a mirror of embodied truth. This exhibition provides a unique opportunity to behold the power of contemporary photographic storytelling while celebrating the strength and presence of women in the Southwest.

Bush Garden

Bush Garden
Welcome to this delightful exhibition of 'Bush Gardens'. Selected Aboriginal artists have painted aspects of the bush and its resources - wildflowers, bush foods and medicine plants Aboriginal people have long been nurturers and observers of the natural cycle of life in the bush. Knowledge of flowering plants provides inside information on food resources and bush medicines as well as the location of surface water. Knowing the life cycle of plants helps you understand when the fruits and seeds will be ready to harvest. Hunters need to know that animals attracted to those plants will move towards those areas when the food resources are abundant. The entire flow of life in the bush gravitates around an understanding of the plants that sustain life. Represented artists include Belinda Golder Kngwarreye, Alison Munti Riley, Michelle Possum Nungurrayi, Karen Bird Ngale, Jessie Beasley, Rosemary Petyarre, Rachael Nambula and Katrina Bird Mbitjana.

Form and feeling: artists’ studies of the twentieth century

Form and feeling: artists’ studies of the twentieth century
Form and feeling: artists’ studies of the twentieth century explores the centrality of drawing to the artistic practice of British and Australian artists, including Stanley Spencer, William Dobell, Russell Drysdale and Frank Auerbach. Drawn from The State Art Collection, this exhibition brings together significant figurative oil paintings and their preparatory drawings – a number of which have never been shown before. Form and feeling is focused upon technique and process, exploring the differing approaches to line, shape, contour and materiality as these artists progress preliminary sketches into finished works. Form and feeling brings to the fore the politics of collecting in Australian public institutional history, wherein Modern British art was keenly collected – particularly after WWII. This exhibition explores the influence that these artists had upon the Australian art scene at the time and restages this influence for audiences today.

Ngaluk Waangkiny

Ngaluk Waangkiny
Stories of resilience from ten trail-blazing Elders. Meaning ‘Us Talking’ in Noongar, Ngaluk Waangkiny is a landmark, multi-media storytelling project designed to honour and preserve the legacy of Elders. Ten respected Elders from Boorloo (Perth) have collaborated with Community Arts Network to share their life journeys as part of this truth-telling project. Their stories are poignant, powerful and at times heartbreaking and harrowing – but they have been laid bare so that future generations are aware of Australia’s often hidden Black history. The Ngaluk Waangkiny tour to Kalgoorlie will act as a catalyst for Community Arts Network’s new project, Legacies. Inspired by Ngaluk Waangkiny, Legacies will celebrate the unique personal histories of trail-blazing Elders from the Goldfields region. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised this exhibition contains the images and names of Elders who have passed away. Images and names have been used with permission.

Henry Roy – Impossible Island

Henry Roy – Impossible Island
In a world-first, legendary photographer Henry Roy holds his first survey at The Art Gallery of Western Australia. Henry Roy – Impossible Island draws on 40 years of recollections and observations as it brings together 113 photos taken from 1983 to 2023. The images were shot in places such as his native Haiti, Ibiza, Paris, Dakar, Cameroon, Normandy, Marrakesh, Thailand, and the Ivory Coast. Impossible Island channels the many influences that have shaped Roy’s artistic journey including his exile from his homeland of Haiti to his love of literature and passion for New Wave French cinema. Henry Roy’s work has been of international interest since the 1990s because of the incredible beauty and richness of his imagery, qualities that have made him a sought-after photographer in magazine editorial and exhibition contexts. His photographic vision was a key component of the new publishing trends in the late 1990s, specifically as a contributor to Purple, and later in the 2000s Hobo magazine.

Balancing Act

Balancing Act
Our story is not one story, but many stories to share. Balancing Act features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works of art from the State Art Collection. In this exhibition, you will encounter a vast range of material revealing the wide scope of First Nations truth-telling and art-making practice. Radical observations about the ups and downs of life are placed side by side with expressions of relationships with Custodial Country; the locations and places artists and communities care for, according to their kin and family ties with place. Different versions of history are told, at times emotional and challenging, alongside moments of great beauty and poignancy. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists use their cultural production to investigate feelings and unpack ideas around identity in the wake of colonisation. Others use their work as a way to support and express their own grief and healing, as well as to express joy and cultural belonging. Balancing Act invites you to be surprised, delighted and challenged by the stories told through the eyes of First Nations artists and their works of art.

Ngaluk Waangkiny

Ngaluk Waangkiny
Stories of resilience from ten trail-blazing Elders. Meaning ‘Us Talking’ in Noongar, Ngaluk Waangkiny is a landmark, multi-media storytelling project designed to honour and preserve the legacy of Elders. Ten respected Elders from Boorloo (Perth) have collaborated with Community Arts Network to share their life journeys as part of this truth-telling project. Their stories are poignant, powerful and at times heartbreaking and harrowing – but they have been laid bare so that future generations are aware of Australia’s often hidden Black history. The Ngaluk Waangkiny tour to Kalgoorlie will act as a catalyst for Community Arts Network’s new project, Legacies. Inspired by Ngaluk Waangkiny, Legacies will celebrate the unique personal histories of trail-blazing Elders from the Goldfields region. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander readers are advised this exhibition contains the images and names of Elders who have passed away. Images and names have been used with permission.

Henry Roy – Impossible Island

Henry Roy – Impossible Island
In a world-first, legendary photographer Henry Roy holds his first survey at The Art Gallery of Western Australia. Henry Roy – Impossible Island draws on 40 years of recollections and observations as it brings together 113 photos taken from 1983 to 2023. The images were shot in places such as his native Haiti, Ibiza, Paris, Dakar, Cameroon, Normandy, Marrakesh, Thailand, and the Ivory Coast. Impossible Island channels the many influences that have shaped Roy’s artistic journey including his exile from his homeland of Haiti to his love of literature and passion for New Wave French cinema. Henry Roy’s work has been of international interest since the 1990s because of the incredible beauty and richness of his imagery, qualities that have made him a sought-after photographer in magazine editorial and exhibition contexts. His photographic vision was a key component of the new publishing trends in the late 1990s, specifically as a contributor to Purple, and later in the 2000s Hobo magazine.

Balancing Act

Balancing Act
Our story is not one story, but many stories to share. Balancing Act features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works of art from the State Art Collection. In this exhibition, you will encounter a vast range of material revealing the wide scope of First Nations truth-telling and art-making practice. Radical observations about the ups and downs of life are placed side by side with expressions of relationships with Custodial Country; the locations and places artists and communities care for, according to their kin and family ties with place. Different versions of history are told, at times emotional and challenging, alongside moments of great beauty and poignancy. Many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists use their cultural production to investigate feelings and unpack ideas around identity in the wake of colonisation. Others use their work as a way to support and express their own grief and healing, as well as to express joy and cultural belonging. Balancing Act invites you to be surprised, delighted and challenged by the stories told through the eyes of First Nations artists and their works of art.
