The exhibition was recently shortlisted as an Arts SA Ruby Award finalist. The exhibition brings together work by five artists from across the State, living in or with strong connections to regional South Australia: Chris De Rosa (Port Elliot), Lara Tilbrook (Kangaroo Island), Ellen Trevorrow (Meningie/Coorong), Clancy Warner (Sellicks Beach), Laura Wills (Adelaide).
Comprised completely of newly commissioned works and spanning spatial installation, printmaking, textiles, sculpture, weaving and drawing, HARBINGERS draws attention to our inherent interconnectedness with the natural world and the complexities of humankind’s influences on our environments. Together the works address issues about systematic (mis)management of natural resources, endemic loss of biodiversity, rising sea levels, migration policies, catastrophic fire events and ongoing colonialism.
