Long live the kindred spirit with an unbridled lust for life. Where music and dancing are as mandatory as family and friends, and art is the celebration. To one-and-all we extend a mutual invitation celebrating the dynamic verve, and immeasurable joy of living to the fullest. Transformative. Eyes were never wider. Through windows and doors that transport us to far-off lands, this season our imagination is a one way adventure to celebration. We’ve joined forces with artist Nadia Hernández to reinterpret her unique visual language, a multi layered universe both sensory and euphoric.

Nadia Hernández’s multi-disciplinary practice reflects a process of bearing witness to the loss of home and the symbolic power of memory and memorialisation. Informed by her experience as a Venezuelan woman living in Australia, and positioning herself both within and outside the Venezuelan diaspora, Hernández makes art as a means to connect with a sense of place that exists beyond psychic and geographic boundaries. She negotiates complex narratives, weaving the personal and the political, to create a highly recognisable visual language expressed through textiles, paintings, paper constructions, sculptures and installations. Her works weave together the complexities of memory, despair, hope and reconciliation, reminding us that these opposing sensations often co-exist.
