X-Change

Exploring themes of de-colonisation, domesticity, and survival through art and community.

X-Change is a new exhibition created by the Re-Right Collective (Carmen Glynn-Braun and Dennis Golding). Bringing their knowledge and experiences in public art and community events to their practice, these artists highlight the ways in which stories are approached through conversation.

This exhibition features new works exploring themes of de-colonisation, domesticity, and survival through art and community. The artists bring hand-held objects that are drawn from childhood memory and lived experiences to create a sanctuary in the colonial landscape. Both Carmen and Dennis exchange stories through these objects to highlight community strength, familial histories and self-determination.
