Internationally recognised Kokatha and Nukunu artist Yhonnie Scarce brings her luminous and powerful works to AGWA in the largest-ever ensemble of her collected glass and mixed-media works seen in Australia.

Balancing Act
Gallery 02 | Ongoing

Our story is not one story, but many stories to share.

Balancing Act features Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander works of art from the State Art Collection. In this exhibition, you will encounter a vast range of material revealing the wide scope of First Nations truth-telling and art-making practice. Radical observations about the ups and downs of life are placed side by side with expressions of relationships with Custodial Country. Balancing Act invites you to be surprised, delighted and challenged by the stories told through the eyes of First Nations artists and their works of art.
