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.

As Artist in Residence at PICA, Reynolds will generate materials towards a new, multi-layered video installation. This work will explore cycles of migration from Ireland to Western Australia and the ways in which this intersects with the history of mining in the region. Incorporating original and found footage, alongside maps and other archival material, the work will employ documentary forms as well as techniques associated with montage and the video essay to propose a rethinking of Irish diasporic identity and Australian multiculturalism.
