Join us at NorthSite this Saturday, 17 October, from 11am–2pm as we celebrate the opening of four new exhibitions and spend the day with the artists behind the work.

The day will begin with a Welcome to Country by Minjil, followed by a series of artist talks exploring the ideas, processes and stories shaping each exhibition.

Hear from a selection of artists in Intimate Worlds III, where material, process and form come together across art and design. Join Anni Hagberg and Kai Hagberg for Overstepping, an exploration of the complex and often overlapping relationships between parent and child, artist and curator. Discover Tania Tocar’s Living Arrangement, where nature’s energy meets the forms of the Queenslander home, before James Cunningham shares insights into X-rays of Time and his immersive, ultra-slow animations that invite us to pause, look closer and experience the world differently.

Artist Talks
Selection of Intimate Worlds Artists: 11:30am – 11:50am
Kai and Anni Hagberg: 11:50am – 12:15pm

From 1pm, take your time wandering through all four exhibitions, enjoy a drink and something to eat, and catch up with the artists for an informal chat.

Whether you’re a regular visitor or joining us for the first time, everyone is welcome. Come along, meet the artists, discover something new and spend a Saturday immersed in contemporary art at NorthSite.
