Presenting Partner: Ten Days on the Island Festival

Learning and Research Partner: Centre for Safe Air | NMHRC Centre for Research Excellence

Articulate Matter explores our relationship with air. Despite our perception of good air quality, events like bushfires have caused significant short-term impacts. As these events become more frequent, we face rising temperatures and increased dust pollutants.

This exhibition will leave you with a profound connection to the air we breathe, evoking gratitude, concern, hope, and recognition that the air around us reflects ourselves over time. What we derive from the air depends on what we put into it, creating an infinite loop of air changing life and our lives changing air.

This exhibition was developed by the University of Tasmania in partnership with the Centre for Safe Air, and will launch to coincide with the Ten Days on the Island festival 2025.

Artists: Jacobus Capone, Hannah Foley, Loren Kronemyer, Emily Parsons-Lord, David Sequeira, Philip Wolfhagen, Jemima Wyman
