Watch and Listen

Watch and Listen embodies the continuation of cultural knowledge through art, capturing the essential role of passing down traditions to our young ones, who are naturally curious, observant, and eager to learn. This exhibition underscores the importance of fostering self-determination in the next generation, empowering them to understand who they are and where they come from.

Featuring three unique collaborations father and daughter, father and son, and aunty and niece, the artists have woven their connections into works that span painting, weaving, and carving. Each piece symbolises the beginning of these young people’s journeys into their culture, opening a space for them to explore and define their identities. Watch and Listen invites us to witness the flow of knowledge from one generation to the next, honouring the strength and resilience found in these familial bonds.

Not only was this project an incredible collaboration working with one of my beautiful nieces Harper (who was 4 years old!) it was also a chance to flex my curatorial muscles.

The other exhibitors are James Tylor and his son Sam Mapu Selleck - Tylor and cuzzies Damien Shen and his daughter Kalani Shen

During the making of this exhibition the Lala aka Lila MacPherson sadly passed away. She was Harpers grandmother, a Scottish Matriarch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
