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, and to those emerging leaders in the community. 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.

Canberra based artist Benjamin Forster pushes the boundaries of the traditional practice of ‘drawing’ with his experiments in the emerging field of biological arts. In conjunction with his research residency at SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia, Forster plans to use the PICA Studio to physically, digitally and mechanically investigate new methods and the possible extensions of ‘drawing’ using biological materials and processes.
