Their works – encompassing textiles, painting, metalwork, installation and video – are conceptually challenging, philosophically layered and intricately crafted. Each piece draws on lived experience and inherited memory, offering fresh perspectives on identity, history and belonging.

Drawn from the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ collection and supplemented with new commissions, And Still I Rise reaches beyond established narratives to explore a multiplicity of experiences, inviting a reconsideration of contemporary Australian art.
