ART ON THE MOVE touring exhibition Peregrinations of a Citizen Botanist is an immersive and finely crafted installation by Susie Vickery which takes the form of a cabinet of curiosities, charting the journey of the 18th Century French botanist Jacques-Julien Houtou de Labillardière, who came to Western Australia in 1792 on the ship Recherche, captained by Bruni d’Entrecasteaux.

Vickery presents an alternative history of Labillardière’s journey, with the botanist gradually shedding his European preconceptions as he encounters a rich and ancient land. At a time of accelerating climate crisis, this exhibition invites viewers to reflect on our relationships with home and history, and to imagine an alternative future for the Australian environment.

Moments Made in Italy by Silvia Busetto

Moments Made in Italy highlights the vivacity of everyday scenes of Italian life. Across all seasons daily activities like zooming around on a vespa, making way for elegant Nonna’s hauling their groceries home or enjoying a relaxed prosecco at the local bar are beautifully reflected in Silvia Busetto’s effervescent watercolours. Her images entice viewers to enter the scene and get to know the locals.

Stepping into the Spotlight

Is it possible to fully know another person?

When we see a stranger, does their way of moving, speaking, dressing and interacting allow us to understand them as a whole person or only know them for an instant? Everyone is shaped by relationships with self and others.

Manjimup Senior High School Year 11 and 12 art students will provide a visual representation of locals who have effected positive change in the area or demonstrated strength of spirit in times of adversity.

This exhibition explores themes around identity and interpersonal relationships through contemporary portraiture.
