SOLSTICE
24 June - 15 July, 2023
SOLSTICE
As the sun reaches its southernmost point in the sky, Australia embraces the enchanting beauty of the winter solstice. The winter solstice holds special significance as a time of transition, when nature's rhythm slows down, and introspection takes centre stage.
SOLSTICE invites contemplation on themes of renewal and connection. The winter solstice marks the turning point towards lengthening days, symbolizing the cycle of life and the promise of new beginnings. Artists explore these themes, presenting artworks that inspire introspection and evoke a sense of collective humanity. Through their creations, they encourage viewers to reflect on the profound interconnectedness that binds us all.
