In partnership with Knox City Council for the 2024 ‘Immerse‘ Festival program, we were proud to curate the work of three incredible First Nations artists; Charlotte Allingham, Jeswri, and Molly Hunt.
The 2024 Immerse event marked the return to physical programming after a five year pandemic hiatus. Immerse promotes ‘Art in Unexpected Places’, and we were honoured to be part of such a thoughtfully curated program to activate and reinvigorate the public realm.
Coinciding with NAIDOC week, the artists showcased a series of digital illustrations in their distinctive style, responding to their perspectives on country, culture and connection. Drawing on their unique backgrounds as part of the Wiradjuri and Ngiyampaa, Gadigal, Balanaggarra and Yolngu communities, each work tells the story of their personal experiences and individual identities.
Installed into lightboxes at three different locations across Knox, each work was imbued with a glowing effect that complimented and brought to life the artists’ visual narratives. The themes of each piece were highlighted (literally and figuratively) by the innovative light box installation, making a high-impact statement day or night, illuminating the heart of the neighbourhood.
Locations: Charlotte Allingham – Cinema Lane, Boronia Jeswri – 119 Station Street, Ferntree Gully Molly Hunt – Side wall of Paloma Pizza, 1233 High Street Road, Wantirna South
