24.01.2022 Last weekend Paper Mountain launched two exhibitions, Portal & Open Sea, as part of the Sea Currents x Sychronicities festival. This event was held on the unceded sovereign lands of the Whadjuk people of the Bibbulmun nation. We acknowledge and give our respect to their elders past and present, who are important storytellers, keepers of knowledge, and cultural custodians of all of us who live in this place. And we extend solidarity and friendship and hope for a future where a...ll are afforded justice, dignity, and peace. Always was and always will be Aboriginal land. *** We'd like to say a big thank you to all the artists and helpers involved in making the launch party and success. Especially to Tasha Faye for capturing these images. Sea Currents x Synchronicities is a small arts festival taking place in Perth and Singapore on the 16th - 30th September that aims to explore and build on connections, and synchronicities between the arts communities in Singapore and Perth.

23.01.2022 Tonight is the first day of Sea Currents x Synchronicities, a small arts festival taking place in Perth and Singapore on the 16th - 30th September that aims to explore and build on connections, and synchronicities between the arts communities in Singapore and Perth.

Tonight you can livestream the launch of the Singaporean exhibition of Portal, a linked exhibition between DECK gallery in Singapore and Paper Mountain in Boorloo (Perth). Please visit the link below to attend the launch virtually!: Portal is a slow art experience where visitors are welcome to stay and sit amongst works as well as to touch them. A collaboration between Cherish by Her and Paper Mountain, this exhibition between The Starving Artists and Paper Mountain is part of the inaugural Sea Currents and Synchronicities festival held in parallel between Perth and Singapore. Visitors will be a part of connections forged in a non-traditional white cube space where the Singapore artists will be available for a chat if booked ahead of time (https://forms.gle/CQxbyN6JpHxj2vdM9) and where works will be given more time to be absorbed in a more personal, novel way. The Singapore part of the exhibition is made up of artists who are all showing works from different mediums - photography, video, sculpture, fashion, poetry, ceramic. Each visitor who comes in will be invited to sit surrounded by works from all the artists and can stay as long as they like before moving on to the next circle.

23.01.2022 A few weeks ago we launched a crowd funding campaign, to help raise funds but also to create awareness about Paper Mountain's shift to becoming a social change and community justice organisation. An organisation that supports all forms of creative and cultural expression. We had an incredible lineup of artists perform for the fundraiser. A huge thank you to babygirlchanel, Josh Chan, RODA PEREZ and Hyclass for creating the vibes with your music and to Liam Ricketts for takin...g these photos. Paper Mountain has always been a volunteer run arts organisation. One way to help make our creative community sustainable is through fundraising! This event was a little bit extra memorable as it was predominately organised by our new volunteers! There was so much enthusiasm, excitement and energy in the space. We would also like to acknowledge that this event was held on the stolen lands of Noongar country and the Whadjuk people of the Noongar nation. Images by Liam Ricketts
