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.

Hudson Valley Ruins
Presented in association with Perth Festival Hudson Valley Ruins is a short narrative film produced entirely in the computer game The Sims 3. Using the conventions of the game, in which players simulate the lives of a modern family, Jacky Connolly has created a complete set, narrative and cast of characters.
Hudson Valley Ruins tracks the unsettling experiences of two young female characters as they navigate the banal, tense and quietly disturbing world of suburban Upstate New York. Opening Event
5pm – 7.30pm, Saturday 8 February 2020
Join us for a special early evening opening event to launch our summer exhibitions, featuring an artist talk by Tina Havelock Stevens at 5pm.
