The Condensery

Art Party at The Condensery

Last weekend saw the culminating public program for ‘Things I Want To Say’ at The Condensery - Somerset Regional Art Gallery.

This has been a 12-month long program that I’ve had the absolute joy of co-developing and helping to realise. You can read more about my involvement here.

The Condensery - Somerset Regional Art Gallery: new youth engagement project - 'Things I Want To Say'

I’m really excited to be working alongside curator Rachel Arndt to help develop and deliver a pilot youth engagement project for The Condensery - Somerset Regional Art Gallery, in Toogoolawah, Queensland.

Over the next year I’ll be supporting Rachel and several artists to run workshops for local young people, inspired by the ideas and artists involved in the May 2023 exhibition, Things I Want to Say, curated by Rachel and Imogen Dixon-Smith.

'Things I want to say' will bring together six emerging artists from across the country whose practices negotiate identity in contemporary Australia. Focusing on artists with a connection to Queensland, the exhibition will encourage conversation around navigating one’s sense of self within the pressures of broader society.

The first of these workshops was yesterday and we had such a fantastic group of local young people, who worked alongside artist Sid McMahon and myself to start teasing out some of these conversations and experiences for themselves.

I’m looking forward to everything that’s to come.
