ALM is thrilled to present Poiesis Symvoli by Trent Jansen. This exhibition brings together key works from Jansen's first 20 years of design practice, developed through his distinctive approach, Design Anthropology. Jansen combines research, storytelling, and co-creation in the design and crafting of poetic artefacts that tell stories of cultural values, myths and histories.
This exhibition centres on Jansen's groundbreaking collaborations with Indigenous Australian artists and designers, including Johnny Nargoodah and Errol Evans. More than collaboration, Jansen builds lasting relationships that extend beyond the final product, ensuring the voices and stories of those he works with continue to shape narratives of Country, culture, and identity. These partnerships have produced objects that honour marginal histories and cultural narratives, telling relational stories that offer a new foundation for Australia identity.
Exhibition: Friday 15 August - Sunday 19 October, 11am - 5pm daily; Closing Event and Floor Talk: Friday 17 October 6 - 8pm.
