Clare Milledge
Complex notophyl vine forest: ground-proof
29 November 2025 - 15 March 2026
As Clare Milledge’s first solo exhibition, sited in the region she grew up in, the exhibition will present her career from 2008 to the present. Spread across three large galleries, Clare has developed a unique visual language through her practice that acts as a tool to encourage audiences to read our ever-changing environment in new and mystical ways.
Club Ate
Ex nilalang, episodes 1 - 4
21 November 2025 - 15 February 2026
Club Ate is a collaboration by trans-disciplinary artists Justin Talplacido Shoulder and Bhenji Ra. Inspired by their shared Filipino heritage, immersion in Gadigal’s (Sydney) underground nightlife and queer communities, and an interest in the body as a tool for transformation. Ex Nilalang, Episodes 1 - 4 — which means both ‘to create’ and ‘creature’ — is an ongoing series of video works conceived as an ‘archive of queer identities’.
Estefania Minniti
El tiempo es oro (time is gold)
10 October - 30 November 2025
The multidisciplinary practice of Estefania Minniti explores the profound theme of time: its impact on relationships, transitions, and the fleeting nature of existence. As an Argentinian-born visual artist now residing in Australia, Estefania confronts the challenges of merging two cultures within herself, feeling rooted in neither.
