rhythm wRites is an immersive exhibition orchestrated by Bigambul artist Leah King-Smith, exploring simultaneity, interconnectivity, rhythm, ethereality, spatiality and sound. Rooted in a decolonising framework, the exhibition features new work produced in collaboration with leading First Nations practitioners from the fields of visual art, music and creative writing: Robert Andrew (Yawuru), Nici Cumpston (Barkindji), Keely Eggmolesse (Gubbi Gubbi and Gooreng Gooreng) and Ellen van Neerven (Mununjali Yugambeh). Audio-visual installations drawing on First Nations experiences, histories, and intergenerational connectivity weave through the galleries alongside select works from King-Smith’s recent practice.
