We pay our respects to the elders past, present, and emerging, for they hold the memories, the traditions, and the culture of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across the nation.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

UPCOMING EVENTS

RADICAL JOY – LYNN PETERSEN

We are looking forward to platforming Lynn Petersen’s “Radical Joy” as part of the Craft + Design Festival 2026. Join us for an opening night celebration on Friday 6th November 5 to 7pm at Q Gallery.
Artist and educator Lynn Petersen will host a workshop inspired by her exhibition. Using simple feltmaking techniques, participants create a protest finger puppet of their own whilst reflecting on the themes explored throughout the exhibition. Participants are invited to consider how humour and creativity can be used to express a personal story, hope, or act of resistance through the lens of radical joy. Each puppet becomes a small gesture of protest and optimism - a response to the challenges and concerns shaping our communities and world.
There will be two free puppet making workshops
Saturday 14th November: 10.30am and 1pm.

“Through the haze of nostalgia, an ode to country”
20 November to December
There is a softness to memory. The places we remember, the faces we hold dear.
But when that fades, what will be left of our landscape? We have one of the most ancient diverse and beautiful landscapes in the world yet everyday we lose it, little by little. In generations to come will our ancestors have the privilege to walk upon country and see Through our eyes.

“My exhibition The Final Cut combines my love for portrait photography with the hospitality industry, a sector that has always been very special to me. I didn't anticipate how difficult it would be to select a single final image for each chef. In the end, my selection was purely instinctual and entirely my own - the chefs did not get to choose their 'favourite'; It is impossible to say exactly what connects us to an image, for me, it’s more about what you don't see and what you imagine.”
