On Thursday I visited the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in Brisbane to see Chiharu Shiota's exhibition, The Soul Trembles. I am somewhat familiar with Shiota's work having seen an installation in the Art Gallery of South Australia. Shiota is a Japanese-born, Berlin-based artist who experiments with performance art and large-scale installations. This is the … Continue reading Chiharu Shiota: The Soul Trembles

Before heading back home, we've allowed some time to explore the museums and galleries in Adelaide. One I was particularly excited to visit is MOD. (part of the University of South Australia). According to their website, MOD. is "a futuristic museum of discovery." It is a place where science, art, and innovation intersect to create … Continue reading MOD. Museum of Discovery
Over the past week we have visited a number of wineries in the Barossa and Clare Valley. I had no idea how much heritage is here and how many wonderful stories can be found at the wineries. In this post, I want to share a select few. Combining wine with heritage has been a perfect … Continue reading Heritage in the Barossa
I am so excited to be in the Barossa this week enjoying the many wineries and delicious food on offer. While there is so much heritage here to write about, I wanted to create a post focusing on the JamFactory at Seppeltsfield (winery). It is a wonderful space that combines an art gallery with artist … Continue reading JamFactory at Seppeltsfield

Instead, I've decided to write about three presentations that fall under the conference theme - Hear. Us. Now. To start, … Continue reading AMaGA 2022 Conference Summary

Wadjemup, or Rottnest Island, is located off the coast of Perth and a short ferry ride from Fremantle. If you are taking the ferry from Perth you do have the opportunity to tour part of the Swan River which I highly recommend. Throughout this blog post I will be referring to the island as Wadjemup … Continue reading Wadjemup (Rottnest Island)
I am so excited to share with you one of the tours I went on today at the Fremantle Prison. I did two tours of the Prison and while one was great from a history-discovering perspective, the other was a stand-out. More on that later. Like with most heritage blog posts I've done over the … Continue reading Fremantle Prison
As promised, here is the blog post on the Art Gallery of Western Australia! After my morning at the Museum, I wandered over to the Art Gallery (stopping to pat three dogs along the way) for a relaxing afternoon. Similar to Brisbane, I love how there is this cultural precinct where you can go and … Continue reading Art Gallery of Western Australia
