Cairns Art Gallery is the exclusive Australian venue outside of New South Wales for the 2020 Archibald Prize, Australia’s oldest and most prestigious art award. MORE
Truth and fiction, and the dissonance between imagined futures and contemporary existence are powerfully interpreted through the photographs of Sammy Baloji, a contemporary artist from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ade Adekola who lives and works in Lagos, Nigeria. Through their work each artist examines the impacts of economic imperialism and globalisation, and the devastating and consequential effects on natural resources, the environment and black communities.... MORE This powerful installation continues the Gallery’s international research interest in complex narratives around blackness and cultural identity. MORE Works in this exhibition explore narratives around the theme of life in the tropics, and how a profoundly complex environment can inform perceptions of identity and belonging. For some, the tropics is a place of bountiful beauty and colour, a place that is affluently fecund, but for others it can be a place of foreboding, deep and dark, impenetrable and menacing. MORE Featuring the best of Cairns' budding young artists. Presented in partnership with the Courthouse Gallery at the newly renovated Cairns Arts Precinct. MORECurrent Exhibitions
