Presented as part of PINK, local artist Ceardai Demelza has created an underwater world where Denise (they/them) a pygmy seahorse, male and pregnant, lives. Pygmy seahorses mimic the colour of the coral they live on; like all of us, Denise has adapted to fit into their environment. Explore Denise’s pink-hued coral home and have your photograph taken by our professional photographer.

The photo-booth is an opportunity to reflect on gender expression and stereotypes. Marvel in the magnificence of Denise – we invite you to dress up for this photographic moment (perhaps, a snorkel or goggles?). Everyone takes home a printed postcard image.

PINK is our upcoming exhibition at Wyndham Art Gallery. Presented in the lead-up to International Women’s Day this exhibition explores the use of pink and other feminine motifs in creative practice by womxn. Once maligned for being girly and diminutive, pink is reclaimed and presented in hues ranging from hot pink to millennial with works exploring the social, biological and performative intersections of the colour in practice.
