Join acclaimed Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens, in conversation with curator Daniel Mudie Cunningham to discuss the current exhibition Rise and Fall.
Rise and Fall is a new installation that explores climate catastrophe from a First Nations perspective. Created in response to the devastating floods that impacted Karla’s hometown of Lismore in February 2022, Rise and Fall combines sculpture, photography and video. Putting a post-apocalyptic spin on the mermaid mythologies of Bondi (where Dickens lived in her youth), Rise and Fall conveys urgent ideas of what it means to fight for survival and change in a world hanging by a thread, where shared responsibility for action is crucial.
Rise and Fall by Karla Dickens, curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham, and presented by Bondi Pavilion, was proudly commissioned by Waverley Council. Karla is represented by STATION Gallery.
