Knowing Otherwise
5 February – 2 April 2026
Curators: Stephanie Berlangieri, Amanda Haskard and Francis E. Parker

A major group exhibition foregrounding ancestral, spiritual and embodied forms of knowledge in response to eroding trust in dominant Western systems. Featuring artists including Paola Balla (Wemba Wemba, Gunditjmara), Vali Myers, Rosaleen Norton, Gail Mabo (Meriam), and Karina Utomo, the exhibition reclaims heterodox traditions—from mysticism and Indigenous storytelling to ritual and the occult—as acts of resistance and transformation.
