Experience some of Australia’s most dynamic contemporary artworks this winter when Artspace Sydney’s acclaimed 52 ACTIONS exhibition comes to Jervis Bay Maritime Museum and Gallery.
The exhibition, which is part of a national tour, features works from 52 Australian artists and collectives across generations, geographies and cultural backgrounds. Working in a wide variety of mediums, they highlight the diversity, complexity and dynamism of contemporary Australian art.
As the title suggests, 52 ACTIONS is grounded in art as action. Guided by the local, the artists’ actions speak to critical global concerns including systemic discrimination, climate change, forced migration and colonial legacies. Notions of freedom are ever present, as are First Nations’ perspectives, the importance of family and community, and speculations about the future.
