At PICA we recognise that we are situated within the unceded lands of the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We pay our respects and offer our gratitude to Elders past and present. We acknowledge all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and the importance of their care and continued connection to culture, community and Country.

Always was, always will be.

Galleries are closed today. Our exhibitions are always free.

Kambarang-Birak Exhibitions Tour

On Thursday 4 December from 6:30pm, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts is pleased to host a reception and tour of the final exhibition season of 2025 – Kambarang-Birak. During this season, PICA presents three urgent and deeply resonant exhibitions that speak to themes of home, place and belonging. 

Second Generation Collective’s Vádyé Eshgh وادی عشق  (Valley of Love) is a major new commission developed with mentorship from artist Abdul-Rahman Abdullah. Inspired by the spiritual text The Seven Valleys, this multi-disciplinary work explores grief, memory and the enduring power of love. Curated by Jasmin Stephens, A Deceptively Simple Need by Alana Hunt considers the realities of daily life on unceded land, encouraging reflection on the universal need for a home. In SETTLED, Joel Sherwood Spring critically examines how new technologies are altering human ways of seeing and being, alongside the continued capitalist exploitation of Aboriginal culture.
