Connective Tissue

This exhibition runs July 4 - September 5, 2026 at Dunlop Art Gallery (Central Library)

Featuring Sarah Cummings Truszkowski, Zun Lee, Dominique Rey, Melanie Monique Rose, Angeline Teoh Simon.

How do we make visible the powerful and intangible forces that bind us together in relation? This exhibition provides insights into how five artists approach this question through works that consider the vast depth and varied configurations of kinship. Through the perspectives of a parent, child, friend, or one who shares place and land, the artists give colour, shape and form to lived experiences that deepen our understanding of family.
Together, the works create an opportunity for us to consider how our relations have been created, sustained, and nurtured over time — through forces such as love and loss, as well as generous acts of care and reciprocity. As such, this exhibition demonstrates that kinships are not rigid frameworks but thrive through complex ecologies of belonging.
