This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program, and is supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland, part of the Department of Communities, Housing and Digital Economy.

UnMasked Exhibition by Sharka Bosakova on view 19 May - 11 June 2022. Juxtaposing traditional with contemporary technologies, Sharka Bosakova presents mixed-media work featuring new body-centred technologies, facilitating a shape-shifting dialogue between 3D printed performative objects and visual body landscape. Creating a rich and engaging space designed to stimulate self-awareness, question norms and enhance our understanding of how masks define and outline our social engagement and embodied selfhood in the age of the #Selfie, pandemic and disasters.
