Stanley Street Gallery is thrilled to present an exciting exhibition curated by Claire de Carteret.

'a place where we can be together' is an exhibition inspired by the work of Gloria Anzaldúa and is interested in facilitating a space for multiple realities and mythologies to sit beside one another.

Presenting the work of 9 early and mid-career artists - Francesca Zak, Garden Reflexxx & Stelly G, Lily Golightly, Lottie Braun, Maria Wang, Mika Benesh, Paula do Prado, Samantha Jade, Serwah Attafuah - the exhibition invites each artist to share their own mythologies; poeticising friendship, portals, forgotten knowledges, ancestral connections, and world making.

Gloria's knowledge of the moon goddess, Coyolxauhqui and her violent story of murder, fragmentation, and rebirth as the moon; of becoming the light in the darkness, is the guiding concept that captures the works concertedly. Spanning installation, textiles, painting, print-media, sound, sculpture and contemporary jewellery, this vibrant and eclectic show encourages generous appreciation of the tangled networks that hold us here, together.

Opening Celebration, Thursday 2 June 6-8pm.
