Disruptor: for all that matters
3 August – 6 October
Disruptor features fifteen artists who pursue diverse practices, each motivated to create art that responds to environmental concerns by examining ecologically significant Blue Mountains biospheres. In recognition that we are not separate from the natural world, that we are connected, and that our very existence is dependent on a healthy environment, the artists have created works with the purpose of raising awareness of the tender ecosystems that intertwine our neighbourhoods. A careless expanding urban footprint, the most common threat for beautiful mountain habitats, this exhibition seeks to pay homage to the vital role artists play in the environmental movement.
