Carabiner Bench (Nature found no fault with me) 2023, by Tay Haggarty and Collaborators

ARTWORK LAUNCH

Sun 8 Oct @ 1pm | Carabiner Bench, Birdsland Reserve

Please join us to celebrate the launch of Carabiner Bench (Nature found no fault with me), a new piece of public art co-designed by Burrinja’s Queer Art Collective (QAC) and Lead Artist Tay Haggarty.

This artwork is an outcome of an 18-month project partnership between Burrinja and VicHealth and has been created in collaboration with a cohort of twelve 18-25 year old queer-identifying people. The artwork is the result of a 6-month long creative design and development process led by Tay Haggarty, reflecting on what it means to be a young queer person in 2023.

The event will feature live performances, speeches and the formal launch of this special artwork. Light catering will be provided.

Please join Burrinja’s Board Chair Prof. Elizabeth Dax AM, CEO Gareth Hart, QAC Facilitator Gulsen Ozer, Lead Artist Tay Haggarty, QAC Collaborators and distinguished guests.

RSVP HERE

Meet at lower carpark inside Birdsland Reserve: Birdsland Carpark, A/, 3/271 Mt Morton Rd, Belgrave Heights VIC 3160

ARCHIVING THE FUTURE

An exhibition, installation and public program in celebration of Burrinja's 25th year birthday

03 Dec – Late Feb, 2024 | Burrinja, Foyer & AERIE Galleries

Looking back whilst also walking forward: this special project brings together a suite of objects and artefacts found in the depths of the Burrinja archive – from the mundane to the dazzling, the everyday to the extraordinary. What stories of people and place are hidden within the objects that we keep?

These objects are brought together for this special exhibition that reflects on 25 years of community leadership through the arts. Simultaneously, Archiving The Future will commission a new installation in our aerie gallery, a piece of speculative art that proposes a future as yet unknown to us.

Keep your eyes peeled for a calendar full of activity and activation over summer, and join us in archiving the future. If that’s even possible.

We acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations as the traditional custodians of the land where we live, work & play. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. Burrinja extends that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today and acknowledges them as the Traditional Custodians of country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. It is through valuing their history, traditions, culture and beliefs that we strive to stimulate awareness and promote respect for Indigenous contemporary art and culture and create a positive future for Indigenous and non-indigenous communities together.

Sovereignty was never ceded.

Always was always will be Aboriginal land.
