About the Exhibition
Shared Skin investigates how we define relationships and sketches a complex picture of what a family can be.
Shared Skin combines new commissions and existing works by internationally recognised contemporary artists from First Nations and culturally diverse backgrounds, giving thought to familial relationships, interpersonal constellations and their connection to land, society and histories.
Shared Skin addresses how family is defined through gender, class, sexuality and the collision of global identities, cultures and community experiences.
