Playroom

Playroom is an exhibition of trans and gender diverse artists exploring queer childhood, staking claim to its pain, creativity, and joy. With painting, sculpture and readings, the exhibition is accompanied by an interactive workshop in which the audience is invited to add themselves to the gallery as dolls.

Supported by BLINDSIDE's emerging curator mentorship, Zoë Sydney and Dae Knight create a space where trans and gender diverse artists can inhabit a queerness that is uniquely attacked and marginalised.

Curators: Dae Knight + Zoë Sydney
Mentor: Zara Sully

OPENING EVENT: Thurs 07 December, 6-8pm

WORKSHOP: Sat 09 December, 2-3:30pm

Playroom curators Dae Knight and Zoe Sydney invite you to join them in a soft Saturday co-making session. Every participant is invited to recreate themselves in doll form, using fabrics and simple cut and tie techniques. These dolls will then become part of the Playroom for the duration of the exhibition, inviting the audience to “play with themselves”. This is a guided drop-in session, the doll making facilities will be available for the duration of the exhibition.
