Looking at how the environmental and community issues caused following the COVID-19 outbreak influenced our lives is the focus of a new exhibition currently on show at Footscray Community Arts.
Co-presented by Environment Film Festival Australia (EFFA), Footscray Community Arts and RMIT’s Curatorial Collective, the interactive art and film exhibition will explore themes of environment, gender, time, space, memory and essentialism.
EFFA short films screened during digital festivals during 2020 and 2021 will be screened during the exhibition, including films from Beny Wagner and Sasha Litvintseva, Jona Gerlach, Shirin Shakhesi and Sylvia Schedelbauer.
Partnering with RMIT’s Curatorial Collective, emerging international artists Anita She, Bixiao ‘Frankie’ Zhang, Rosina Yuan and Sherry Liu will also be presenting their works.
Footscray Community Arts will also host a book launch of Hong Kong sustainable art group Artist Co-op’s new book ‘Sustainability Art in Hong Kong’ on Sunday, October 16, which will involve Australian and international art practitioners discussing the connection between art and contemporary environmental issues.
Sherry Liu will be holding artist chats every Friday during the exhibition at Footscray Community Arts from 2pm until 5pm.
InterPlay will run to Sunday, October 23 at Footscray Community Arts.
