A Particular Being – Lumina Collective
Lumina is a group of award-winning female artists from around Australia who are committed to revealing narratives within the Australian landscape and further afield. Artists include Donna Bailey, Chloe Bartram, Jessie Boylan, Aletheia Casey, Anna Maria Antoinette D’Addario, Lyndal Irons, Morganna Magee and Sarah Rhodes.
What makes one life worth remembering? Lives are forgotten because their values are unreadable, and once lost, lives may not be understood to have been a life at all. In this new major exhibition, Lumina attempts to explore notions of grievability, memory and recognition in an unstable world. Through their eight distinct lenses, Lumina reimagines diverse and discrete lives poised at times of personal and global unease.
