Elisa Jane Carmichael & Teho Ropeyarn: Parallel Currents

First Nations artists, Elisa Jane Carmichael and Teho Ropeyarn, have both come to prominence through their respective inclusions in major survey exhibitions such as the Asia Pacific Triennial, Tarnanthi, Primavera and the Biennale of Sydney. Their work is now more frequently seen in a national and international context, often in exhibitions thematically linked to water.

Parallel Currents offers an opportunity to engage with a selection of their recent works, not previously seen before in Brisbane. Ropeyarn and Carmichael explore their personal connections to country, Injinoo and Quandamooka, respectively.

A number of these innovative works have returned from interstate shows, and this exhibition coincides with Ropeyarn’s participation in the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, rīvus and Carmichael’s inclusion in Primavera 2021: Young Australian Artists at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney.

Opening Event: Friday 11 March 2022, 6-8pm
