Feline Good. Howabout Body Shots?, A touring Exhibition from Art on the Move, brings together two major works by Bruno Booth, offering insight into the multidisciplinary practice of a significant Western Australian artist.

REMOTLEYCLOSE is about the happiness and sorrow of migrating, leaving home and reinvention elsewhere. The artists contemplate both ‘home and away.’ Is ‘home’ simply made by adding together time + safety + familiarity as the geographer Yi Fu Tuan tells us? The question of how people turn a foreign space into a known place or a home is embedded into most of Furque and Eastaugh’s work. 

From letting loose in the loungeroom to enthralling audiences on stage, this exhibition celebrates dance and dancers. Capturing the beauty of movement, self expression and connection, the works on display in Dancer were collaboratively curated and choreographed by the National Portrait Gallery together with a group of local dancers.

‘My Journey’ is a collaborative project involving Year 10 students from Clontarf Aboriginal College and pre-service teachers from Notre Dame University each year. The students share their journeys and therefore, are sharing the spiritual connection they have to their country, expressing and exploring their kinship structure from home, and the cultural practices that are celebrated with their families.

Tattoos are a conversation starter. Many members and veterans of the Australian Defence Forces have tattoos, and while their reasons for getting tattooed are as varied as the people themselves, self-expression and belonging play a part.
