Purkarari: Slow down' is an exhibition of major new works by Zaachariaha Fielding alongside collaborative paintings created with senior artists working out of the APY Studio in Adelaide. Rooted in the Pitjantjatjara word Purkarari, meaning a deep calm through work, Fielding explores the meditative act of creation in partnership with celebrated artists Sandra Pumani, Yaritji Young, Nyunmiti Burton, Jennifer Ingkatji, Yaritji Heffernan, Margaret Richards, and Megan Lyons. Together, their work speaks to the restorative nature of painting-where movement, expression, and shared creativity quiet the mind and strengthen cultural connections.
Widely recognised for his musical achievements as one half of the acclaimed duo Electric Fields, Fielding is also an award-winning visual artist whose bold and expressive work continues to gain national and international recognition.
Presented by City of Adelaide as Adelaide marks 10 years as Australia's first and only UNESCO City of Music in 2025, and following Electric Fields being awarded the Key to the City on 12 May 2025, the exhibition is a powerful tribute to connection, creativity, and Country.
'Purkarari: Slow down' is presented in the First Floor Gallery at Adelaide Town Hall, a dynamic civic and cultural centre. At times, the exhibition may be inaccessible due to events. Contact Adelaide Town Hall before visiting to avoid disappointment.
