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 open today, 10am–5pm. Our exhibitions are always free.

Breakings

Breakings

‘A sharp, confronting and reflective look at today’s mediated world’

Amongst a pile of out-of-tune television sets, walls converge and a body is caught between hope and fear. Breakings questions our relationship with the media and how it influences our perception of the world.

Hailed by the West Australian as ‘one of Perth’s most promising emerging choreographers’, Aimee Smith is known for her cutting edge political work. Breakings is an intense intersection between body, sound, screen and movement.

After the performance join Aimee and guests from the fields of media, performance and cultural theory, as they unpack her work.
