We believe their testimonies will provide a uniquely poignant human experience to those listening. The first is Ms Yahata Teruko\, who as an eight-year-old child\, experienced and survived the atomic bombing of Hiroshima in August 1945. Since then\, she has devoted herself to sharing her experience\, and inspiring us to understand what happened to our sisters and brothers on that fateful day\, and how it should never be allowed to occur again. The second person is a local West Australian\, Mr Bill Plewright. Mr Plewright served in Occupied Japan with HMAS Bataan in 1947-48 and visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He is also a veteran of three nuclear tests: Operation Hurricane (Montebello Islands 1952) and Operation Mosaic G1 and G2 (Montebello Islands 1956). Though both Ms Teruko and Mr Plewright are in their nineties\, they are both fit\, and powerful and articulate speakers. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n12.00pm | Saturday\, 10 May 2025 \n\n\n\n#FREE\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nImage:  Photo by Kazuma Hayashi\, provided by the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum URL:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/event/testimony-to-the-atom-bomb-two-survivors-speak/ LOCATION:WA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/04/Humanitix1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20250510T153000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20250510T180000 DTSTAMP:20260422T100343 CREATED:20250411T061632Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250411T061826Z UID:10000078-1746891000-1746900000@www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au SUMMARY:Sharing Japanese Culture and Language for Peace DESCRIPTION:Teaching the legacy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\n\n\n\nJoin us for the hibakusha testimony from Ms Teruko Yahata alongside a discussion around teaching Japanese language and culture facilitated by Adrian Glenmorgan. 3.30pm – 6.00pm |  Saturday\, 10 May 2025 \n\n\n\n#FREE\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nImage:  Ms. Teruko Yahata\, Japanese Hibakusha/Atomic Bomb Survivor URL:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/event/sharing-japanese-culture-and-language-for-peace/ LOCATION:WA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/04/Pic_Ms-Yahata1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20250517T150000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20250614T180000 DTSTAMP:20260422T100343 CREATED:20250411T064126Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250411T065807Z UID:10000079-1747494000-1749924000@www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au SUMMARY:The Atomic Age on Film DESCRIPTION:This is a series films related to the Atomic Age\, carefully selected and curated by Mick Broderick.Prior to the film starting\, a viewing of NEVER AGAIN: The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Exhibition is recommended.

This is a unique chance to hear directly from an artist who has worked with quiet dedication toward this moment\, building a body of work that asks us to reconsider how we see the ordinary world around us. \n\n\n\nEach painting in this exhibition is a small act of preservation\, a way of holding time still. \n\n\n\n2pm – 4pm | Saturday\, 29th November 2025 \n\n\n\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIMAGE: Whatever Happened to Sunday Mourning\, 1979  Oil on linen  118 x 141 cm \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGALLERY HOURS: \n\n\n\nWed–Fri 11am – 5pm  |  Sat 12pm – 4pm  | 8 November – 13 December 2025 URL:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/event/artistcurators-talk/ LOCATION:WA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/11/Pic_Whatever-happened-to-Sunday-mourning-1979-118x141cms-NFS-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260412T110000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260412T120000 DTSTAMP:20260422T100343 CREATED:20260309T064901Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260309T065033Z UID:10000087-1775991600-1775995200@www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au SUMMARY:TIME to BURN @ Vasse Felix  DESCRIPTION:Time to Burn\, an exhibition bringing together artists responding to urgent environmental concerns surrounding contemporary forest management. \n\n\n\nCurated by Christine Gregory\, Time to Burn examines current fire management practices\, with a focus on aerial prescribed burning in Western Australia’s Great Southern and South West regions. \n\n\n\nThrough artistic and community perspectives\, the exhibition explores the environmental\, cultural\, and ecological consequences of these methods. \n\n\n\n“The Southwest forests are a biodiversity hotspot\, with many unique plants and animals existing nowhere else on Earth\, yet they are under threat from many angles including inappropriate fire management. The WA Government should take inspiration from these artists\, and be creative\, considered and informed in re envisioning fire management in the Southwest to protect both nature and communities.” Jess Boyce\, Director Western Australian Forrest Alliance (WAFA) https://wafa.org.au/about-us/ \n\n\n\nThe exhibition aims to provoke informed dialogue and encourage alternative approaches to fire management\, highlighting the irreversible damage caused by prevailing practices. Time to Burn asks a vital question: how can we protect both our communities and the natural environment—before time runs out? \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features Western Australian artists Kate Campbell-Pope\, Annette Davis\, Elizabeth Edmonds\, Peter Hill\, Sandra Hill\, Paul Moncrieff\, Kim Perrier\, Ben Pushman\, Tania Spencer\, Monique Tippett\, Peter Usher\, and Tony Windberg. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition is part of the South West Biennial 2026 run by Bunbury Regional Art Gallery. \n\n\n\nTo be officially opened by JANET HOLMES à COURT AC \n\n\n\n11.00 am | Sunday\, 12th April 2026 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nClick HERE to Register for Official Opening\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nOnly light refreshments will be served during the formal opening in the Gallery. \n\n\n\nTo book for lunch separately\, contact  Vasse Felix :  P.  9756 5050 or email  restaurant@vassefelix.com.au \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nImage credit: Peter Hill\, New Day\, 2024\, oil paint on burnt Marri timber URL:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/event/time-to-burn-vasse-felix/ LOCATION:Holmes à Court Gallery @ Vasse Felix\, Cnr Tom Cullity Dr & Caves Rd\, Cowaramup\, WA\, 6284\, Australia ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/03/Peter-Hill_New-Day-oil-paint-on-burnt-Marri-timber-100-x-100cm-LO-RES-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260418T140000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260418T153000 DTSTAMP:20260422T100343 CREATED:20260309T065638Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260309T065835Z UID:10000088-1776520800-1776526200@www.holmesacourtgallery.com.au SUMMARY:Ron Nyisztor ARTIST TALK @ no.10 DESCRIPTION:Join us for an insightful discussion with Ron Nyisztor around the works in his exhibition Hope Valley Road : an Autobiography \n\n\n\nThis project refers to the deserted neighbourhood as motivation for a visual autobiography\, an alternative\, extreme self-portrait. A likeness that is comprised from the depiction of motor vehicles associated with his journey\, stalled vestiges\, trained on any other horizon. \n\n\n\nThe artist grew up in this locality and considers the romantic connotations of the road’s namesake to be at odds with its aquired bleakness.
