Official Opening of Rise and Fall

Join us for the official opening of Rise and Fall.

Rise and Fall is a powerful new installation by acclaimed Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens.

The exhibition will be officially opened by Tess Allas. Tess is an award-winning curator, writer, artist, educator, and advisor with strong links to Tharawal country in Wollongong. She has worked in Indigenous cultural development since the early 1990s and is currently the First Nations Curator at the Museums of History, NSW.

This evocative work responds to the climate catastrophe that struck Dickens’ hometown of Lismore during the devastating floods of February 2022.

For further insight into Rise and Fall, come along from 1 - 2pm to hear Karla Dickens in conversation with exhibition curator and Wollongong Art Gallery Director, Daniel Mudie Cunningham, find out more here.
