KITX attempt to REWILD the earth through the sourcing of organic materials from farmers practising regenerative agriculture and by supporting reforestation. They RENEW materials by generating want from waste. They REHOME past KITX collections as they move toward a circular fashion system. Through their principles of regeneration: rewild, renew and rehome, KITX is committed to harnessing the transformative power of storytelling through fashion. As they move beyond sustainability, KITX promises to create fashion by not only sourcing materials consciously but also by using their principles to regenerate and heal the earth. https://kitx.com.au/collections/denim

“Mikala’s practice is predominantly installation-based, in which she creates spaces within the conventional architecture of the gallery, using materials that have a strong association with the body. Her interest in working within and against architecture is a reaction to the imperatives of ‘good design’ – Scandinavian modernism in particular. Her installations and sculptures are experimental and experiential architectures that play with the permeable and changeable nature of objects and our relationship with them. Her materials – plastic, fabric, plywood, plants and sound – are selected for their qualities of materiality or immateriality, and display an intentional lack of finish.” www.mca.com.au/artists-works/artists/mikala-dwyer/

For Ngāti Kahungunu and Kai Tahu descendent Ayesha Green, being an artist has become an essential service she can provide for her whakapapa (ancestors). Based in Auckland, New Zealand, Ayesha’s cartoonesque painting practice seeks to engage with processes of reproduction and representation through the lens of cultural value systems. Yet for Ayesha, there is one main question that drives her work: what makes Māori art Māori art? She has made waves in the New Zealand art scene by disrupting Eurocentric systems of hierarchy and its associated cultural framework. She captures large complex histories, while also being incredibly personal.” www.aucklandartgallery.com/explore-art-and-

Bangarra’s Terrain is a breathtaking exploration of Australia’s largest salt lake-Kati Thanda. Choreographed by Frances Rings.

Watch the waters rise and fall as we reconnect with the energy of land and the resilient spirit of the people who care for its future”. An experience of stunning cultural meaning and authentic BEAUTY by the talented Bangara team. www.bangarra.com.au

Daniel Boyd: Treasure Island is the artist’s first major exhibition to be held in an Australian public institution. Featuring more than 80 works from across his nearly two-decade career, the exhibition unpacks the ways in which Boyd holds a lens to colonial history, explores multiplicity within narratives and interrogates blackness as a form of First Nations’ resistance.Working with an idiosyncratic painting technique that partially obscures the composition, Boyd refigures archival imagery, art historical references and his own family photographs, asking us to contend with histories that have been hidden from view. www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/whats-on/exhibitions/daniel-boyd/

Rossana Orlandi abandoned her fashion world to open an art and design gallery. From the moment she made the leap, it became a mecca for Design. Through her love and passion the Gallery, was named one of the eight most important in the world.  She presented an aesthetic dialogue where objects communicate with each other outside of place and time. The curious intelligence that has always been her compass led Rossana to travel around the world to what we now call Design Weeks. She discovered the most significant figures in Design.
