30 Years Strong
ABOUT
Mangkaja 30 Years Strong celebrates thirty years of art creation at the Mangkaja Arts Resource Agency. Over this time, Mangkaja has creatively boomed becoming a vital part of the local community in Fitzroy Crossing. The artists have become widely known for their bold, loud and dynamic styles, experimenting with a range of media, expressive colours and free-flowing forms. The Mangkaja artists bring stories of country and First Nations cosmology alive, as well as mixing in ideas of social justice, displacement, environmentalism and the world beyond.
This exhibition presents works from the Janet Holmes à Court Collection in conversation with works from Mangkaja. Artworks will be available for purchase.

Unique States
ABOUT
There is still a chance to catch this exhibition which continues until October 2nd.
Unique States considers different states and the many meanings of the idea of the ‘unique state’. It refers to a print making technique, to states of being, societal and environmental states and to our geographical state. The past three years have launched humanity into ‘unique states’ and Western Australia has become even more of a ‘unique state’ because of its position apart from the rest of Australia and the world. Unique States presents political and environmental realities, as much as flights of fancy, taking viewers through a variety of unique states via the medium of print.

Acquisitions
Mary Dhapalany, Woven Mat, 2022
This large woven mat is made of naturally dyed pandanus leaves by senior Mandhalpuy artist Mary Dhapalany. It was recently acquired for the Janet Holmes à Court Collection. Dhapalany has been creating fibre art pieces since her teenage years for both ritual and utilitarian purposes. This is an excellent example of her meticulous work.
