(QLD) We Heart Numbers

The “We Heart” Collective are at it again, this time “hearting” numbers. The 14 artists of the collective have decided to celebrate these under-valued typographical characters in a variety of ways, with a collaborative art exhibition.

Each artist has taken their own unique approach to the theme, with photographer Camille Santiago profiling nine creatives in a series of stunning numerology portraits, illustrator Racheal McCosh is working madly on finishing a deck of playing cards filled with her distinctive McCosh characters and tactile typographer Dominique Falla is making colourblind tests out of buttons.

(VIC) Echoes of Others

As part of the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival is the exhibition ‘Echoes of Others, Gaps Amidst Translation’. In today’s world, new forms of digital technologies facilitate global communication, traversing the once impermeable political and geographic borders in unprecedented and unimaginable ways. What are the consequences of our globalised world on the way we relate to and communicate with those around us? How does the translation of information affect our responses to human rights and global issues?

In the context of this exhibition, echoes become a way of reflecting these ambiguous translations. The work exhibited explores echoes both materially and conceptually, as voices are silenced, images fade, and meaning is reconstructed. Featured artists include: Alexia Germain, Marliène Blain, Louis Philippelèvesque, Anita Belia, Baden Pailthorpe, Brad Haylock, Dinalie Dabarera, The Keiskamma Trust, Lex Randolph, Louise Hunter, Minela Krupic, Nasim Nasr, Sue Kneebone, and Veronica Grow.
