Gallery 1: ORIENTATION : LANDSCAPE - Catherine Boardman- Margaret Dix- Nicola Dunbar & Alexandra Mills 'The urge to trap in two-dimensions- a piece of a place or the sensation it creates in us is strong and for centuries artists have pursued the representation of landscape in many media and formats.'  Gallery 2: Edge of Disquiet - Jacqui Driver 'Much of my work responds to my own experience of the unstable emotional states of grief- trauma- and anxiety- as well as dealing with the physical pain of chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis- I am inviting the audience to acknowledge spaces of discomfort and non-conformity.'Gallery 3: HEAD ON PHOTO FESTIVAL presents Apophony Lilium  Ben Blick-Hodge 'Following the linguistic concept of the same name- the Apophony series aims to explore a kind of visual intonation. Using a process of photographic capture and digital arrangement- for these works true lilies are faceted into structurally symmetrical wreathes. From the natural fall of light in multiple photographs- a coherent light source is then gathered to illuminate a form that hovers between idea and object- fabrication and documentation.'Gallery 4: DAILY RITUALS - Erin O'Brien 'As a freelance illustrator and designer- I am often constrained to the client's brief. Daily Rituals is my chance to think and draw freely every day with the influence of a single word prompt. An opportunity to do something just for me. No client notes or edits- just the joy of putting pen to paper and taking a drawing from start to finish in the space of 20 minutes. Daily Rituals is an exercise in not overthinking it- and in making art more accessible to myself and to others. Just 366 small- manageable- daily goals.'Covid-19 Safe Guidelines As a result of Covid-19 & social distancing- we will not hold our typical opening night on Thursday's fortnightly.

Former Australian Ambassador to China Dr Geoff Raby in a new book- China's grand strategy and Australia's future in the new global order (Melbourne University Publishing)- writes that Australia faces an ever more precarious position in the world. An apparent ending of the 'end of history' - heralded by the rise of the People's Republic of China (PRC)- the US' swing towards 'America First' and increased political fragmentation in Europe - risks eroding norms on human rights- the rule of law- free media and global institutions- posing an unprecedented challenge to the comparatively benign geopolitical environment that has underpinned Australia's prosperity in recent decades.What is the likely trajectory of Australia's relationship with the PRC? How should Australia position itself amid the shifting sands of its new geopolitical environment? How should Australia assess its international environment- and what might a realistic foreign policy agenda look like for Australia? How should Australia pursue diplomacy- including when it comes to countries with opposing principles?Dr Raby will join Professor James Laurenceson- Director of the Australia-China Relations Institute at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS:ACRI)- in conversation in an online webinar launching his new book to discuss these questions and more. This discussion will be followed by audience Q&A.Dr Raby's book China's grand strategy and Australia's future in the new global order is available for pre-order.Time: 12.30pm  1.30pm AEDTAbout the speakerGeoff RabyDr Geoff Raby is Chairman and Founder of Geoff Raby and Associates- a Beijing-based corporate advisory firm providing strategic advice and analysis on China.
