Primavera: Young Australian Artists

21 Jun – 10 Aug

MCA Primavera

Primavera: Young Australian Artists, the MCA Australia’s annual exhibition for artists aged 35 years and under, presents work by six early-career artists that challenge society’s prescribed structures to deliver compelling alternatives to the status quo.

Guest curated by Sydney based artist and curator Talia Smith, Primavera features artists Tiyan Baker (NSW), Christopher Bassi (QLD), Moorina Bonini (VIC), Nikki Lam (VIC), Sarah Poulgrain (QLD), and Truc Truong (SA), who investigate themes of protest, reimagining, and perseverance.
