I'm so pleased to be included in the exhibition, 'Creative Antarctica: Australian Artists and Writers in the Far South' at RMIT galleries, Melbourne.

The exhibition examines the role artists and writers play in expanding the Antarctic imaginary, offering new understandings of one of the world’s most remote and fragile wilderness zones. 

Creative Antarctica features work by over 35 artists including new, site-specific installations as well as historically significant artworks, and is supported by a rich suite of talks, panels and workshops that provide a variety of engagement opportunities and modes of encounter with the Far South.

Creative Antarctica demonstrates how artists and writers play an increasingly vital role in observing and recording the tensions between climate, landscape, technology, politics and humans.

This exhibition was produced as part of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project Creative Antarctica: Australian Artists and Writers in the Far South, in collaboration with project team members.
