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 until 7 February. Our exhibitions are always free.

The Quiet Country (a dream play)

The Quiet Country (a dream play)

Mary Last was in a hurry. Mary Last was rushing to get home to the country when she had an accident. Now she’s in an unfamiliar world of red-dry ochre earth, surrounded by long dead members of her family, trying to remember. Who was she trying to get to and why was it so important? The Quiet Country (a dream play) is a work that takes us into unfamiliar dry country, a land of forgetting and remembering. The production takes up residence at PICA for a creative development period during December. Join the creative team for a public reading at the conclusion of the residency.
