Within Melbourne’s arts precinct lives Melbourne University’s Southbank Campus, home to some staple arts facilities including the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and Buxton Contemporary. This year, the Buxton Contemporary gallery will house a new diverse collection of artworks spanning film and photography, to sculpture and printmaking. Weaving together work from a diverse group of artists, The Veil ventures into the liminal realms of memory, identity and cultural resilience.
In her practice, exhibit curator Hannah Presley has worked closely in creative projects with First Nations artists, investigating techniques, histories and (like Assistant Curator Isabella Hone-Saunders) amplifying community and creative representation. Presley describes the exhibition’s tone and depth.
