About the exhibitions:

A1 Darebin Art Salon 2025

The highly anticipated A1 Darebin Art Salon is back for another year celebrating art, creativity and expression within our community!

This will be the fifth iteration of this major biennial art prize and exhibition, which allows local artists and crafters at any stage in their career to exhibit their work in a public art gallery. Featuring over 150 artists who live, work, study or base their creative practice in the City of Darebin.

Jaren | جڑیں | Roots | جذور

This collaborative exhibition is exhibited across three venues in Darebin: the Islamic Museum of Australia, La Trobe University and Bundoora Homestead Art Centre.

Considering our shared context as neighbours, artworks have been chosen from our collections that reflect the diverse communities of artists that call or have called Australia home. Artists in this exhibition share an interest in celebrating and challenging the cultural contexts that shape their lived experiences, often expressing their personal encounters and cultural histories, and how these have informed their beliefs.

Artists across the venues include Abdul Abdullah, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah, Cigdem Aydemir, Mirela Cufurovic, Rubaba Haider, Fatima Killeen, Aniwar Mamat, Nusra Latif Qureshi and Naeem Rana.
