12 April – 13 July
Based in Boorloo (Perth), this season at PICA celebrates Western Australia’s vibrant and evolving contemporary arts ecology. Through exhibitions, performances, studio residencies and events, we foster connections and support a growing network of extraordinary artists.
Revealed, WA’s premier Aboriginal art showcase, presents works by emerging artists from all corners of our vast state. Curated by Whadjuk, Ballardong and Wilman Noongar artist Zali Morgan, the exhibition features artworks that cover a broad range of expressions and mediums, demonstrating the constantly evolving nature of Aboriginal art today. Artworks within the exhibition are for sale, with all proceeds going directly to the artists and their communities.
Upstairs in our West End Gallery, Vernon Ah Kee’s multi-channel GUDIRR GUDIRR reflects on Australia’s history for Aboriginal people in contemporary northwest WA. Filmed in Rubibi (Broome), it powerfully reimagines Marrugeku’s original dance, performed by co-artistic director Dalisa Pigram.
First Nations culture is further celebrated in a series of programs throughout April, including a Block Party, artist panels, workshops, performances and food. In June, we present the return of Restore, a dynamic double-bill by STRUT Dance and in July, fellow residents, pvi collective, host a lab for mid-career artists at PICA, championing experimentation. As you explore our program, we invite you to reflect on the stories and cultures on display. May they spark new conversations, deepen your connection to WA’s artistic landscape and highlight the vital role of First Nations artists in shaping our shared future within a global creative dialogue.
