25.01.2022 Dr Kelsey Ashe, curator and artist was awarded funding to nurture and support the creative development of new artworks for an upcoming exhibition, 'Imaginary Territories'. The group exhibition, to be held later in 2020 will showcase the work of critically engaged women chosen for their vanguard contributions in film, sound, installation, performance and print media influenced by Surrealism. Artists are asked to explore the concept of a ‘territory’ as a domain of the inner wor...ld; an ‘internal truth’ that reflects imaginings of the real world in an apocalyptic era. Visual artists include Toni Wilkinson, Rebecca Patterson, Lucille Martin and Jo Darbyshire with Spoken word Poetry by First Nation Playwright Barabara Hostalek, plus Live Neo-Classical overture by The Dark Swan Quartet.
