Opening 6pm 2 October with participating artists Jacky Green, June Mills and Niall Barrington in conversation with curator Carmen Ansaldo as they explore the processes and passions that inform the work in Groundswell: Recent movements in art and territory.

Groundswell features nineteen works by Northern Territory artists including Jacky Green, Kelly Lee Hickey, June Mills, Aly de Groot, Patricia Phillipus Napurrula, Lee Harrop, Maicie Lalara, Mel Robson, Jennifer Taylor and Tarzan JungleQueen. The works in Groundswell extend through vast Territory geographies, perspectives and artistic mediums to stake their claim, spanning moving image, visualised data, painting, printmaking, ceramics and sculpture. These works find commonality in their shared determination to bridge the message of each individual artist to our collectively shared concerns as Northern Territory citizens. In this way, visual culture is harnessed to agitate for the paradigm shift we so desperately need if we are to preserve our most precious resource into an uncertain future.

Groundswell is a touring exhibition produced by Artback NT. For more information and future touring dates please go here.
