Featuring Kaytetye and Alywarr man Marcus ‘Double O’ Camphoo Kemarre; Melbourne-based Clara Joyce; a new collaboration of soft robotics sculpture and sound by Jimi DePriest & Nate Wood; and an exhibition screening of ‘Solar Breath (Northern Caryatids)’ (2002) by late Canadian filmmaker Michael Snow, borrowed from The State Art Collection, Art Gallery of Western Australia; curated by Goolugatup Heathcote Curator Paul Boye.

A window to the south is rough with raindrops

That, caught in the screen, spell out untranslatable glyphs
