Free to attend, all welcome

This Winter, experience three thought-provoking exhibitions at Bundoora Homestead Art Centre. How do artists subvert and reclaim language? Find out in Taking Back Language, a new group exhibition that utlilises text in both humourous and powerful ways. Explore Remembering to Forget, an installation by Hootan Heydari that examines history, place and the inevitable erosion of memory.

We are also excited to launch You, Me and Everything Around Us, a new showing of works by multidisciplinary artist Sammaneh Pourshafighi that navigates the artist’s autobiographical and familial relationships, tracing the shifting boundaries between family, environment and self.

About the exhibitions:

Taking Back Language

Using different mediums, artists in this exhibition engage with text to reclaim language, examining the ways in which words can be used to reveal, challenge and subvert different power structures. Whilst some artists turn colonial erasure back on itself, others celebrate the reclamation of language.

Artists: Brian McKinnon, Fiona Foley, Jazz Money, Jenna Lee, Kait James, Karla Dickens, Mia Boe and Peter Waples-Crowe.

Remembering to Forget | Hootan Heydari

Heydari’s new exhibition examines history, place and memory. Photographs of personal significance are transferred onto plaster, a material rich in the symbolism of fragility, strength, healing, and domesticity. These are arranged across the floor; you can feel them cracking under foot, symbolising the inevitable erosion of memory.

You, Me and Everything Around Us | Sammaneh Pourshafighi

This collection of works navigates the artist’s autobiographical and familial relationships, tracing the shifting boundaries between family, environment, memory, and self. Through diverse materials and approaches, seemingly disparate forms – documentary, cartographic, and experimental gestures – are placed in dialogue.
