Women’s bodies are governed, abused, dominated, objectified, adorned, and modified, cut up and stitched back together. This exhibition puts front and centre the question of how much of this is within our control, as a measure of the power we can expect and reclaim.

Exhibition opening: 'All about Electronics' Jpark
2025-02-08 13:00 - 15:00 | Victoria Park Centre for the Arts (Front Room), 12 Kent Street, East Victoria Park, WA, 6101, Australia
Exhibition runs: 8 February – 26 February 2025
Opening event: Saturday 8 February 2025, 1.00pm-3.00pm
A surreal and unique look at electronics through the visual arts including acrylic paint on canvas, silver, copper, brass and porcelain sculptures. The artist has viewed the subject in many ways, including interpretations of tracks on a printed circuit board and free form sculptures. The artist uses found items on many works and tries, when possible, to recycle materials he has on hand. The artist is an alien and therefore the art must be viewed through different eyes.

Exhibition opening: ‘Radial Ecologies’ Scott Price
2025-02-07 17:30 - 19:30 | Victoria Park Centre for the Arts (Main Gallery), 12 Kent Street, East Victoria Park, WA, 6101, Australia
Exhibition runs: 7 February – 25 February 2025
Opening event: Friday 7 February, 5.30pm–7.30pm
Radial Ecologies is a site response to Swan River. It is an alternative approach to landscape; an attempt to close the gap with nature. Paperbark and leaves are set upon the surface of the paper, washed with watercolour, still wet. Capillary action traces the material elements of the site as they touch the paper, travelling the narrow spaces of their texture. They leave their mark, like fingerprints, as the pigment pools and dries in the friction ridges. The blackened fingers of burnt eucalypts trace their way across the surface of the paper, washed by yellow ochre.

“A dingo’s got my baby”.
The ensuing events and court cases captivated a nation. A mother accused of murdering her child, her claim of a dingo taking her baby denied and discredited. It divided the nation into those supporting the dingo theory and those who saw the mother as evil.
For the first time in Perth, the Victoria Park Centre for the Arts presents a staged reading of the powerful script by Alana Valentine based on the vast collection of more than 20,000 letters written to Lindy and the transcripts from the many coroner inquests and court cases. It reveals the media circus, the rumours, the rancour, the vitriol and kindness and support, the prejudices and a flawed legal system.
Victoria Park Centre for the Arts has gathered an ensemble of Perth’s talented and accomplished performers to present this riveting and thought-provoking work.

‘Mapping Memories’ Sia Smyth Exhibition Opening

Opening event: Friday 14 June 5.30 – 7.30pm
Gallery open weekends: 10.00am – 4.00pm
Mappa definition (Latin): Napkin, or painted cloth. By using reclaimed fabrics Sia Smyth co-opts the past life of the cloth to imbue her artworks with the patina of time. The intimacy of covering the body with these memory cloths, softly comforts and encloses the user.
These pieces use some of the conventions of traditional patchwork and reconfigure them for contemporary tastes. Sia has experimented with modes of construction to discover this new medium as her expression of creative practice.

Tha Film Project: 'Beats of the Antonov' film screening
2024-05-26 19:00 - 23:00 | Victoria Park Centre for the Arts, 12 Kent Street, East Victoria Park, WA, 6101, Australia
Tha Film Project aims to promote cultural diversity and inclusivity through the impactful medium of film. Their objective is to showcase films created by diverse communities, with a particular focus on African cinema.

Tha Film Project screening: Beats of the Antonov (2015)
Sunday 26 May, 7.00pm – 11.00pm
Victoria Park Centre for the Arts
This event is free, register here to attend.
Tha Film Project have chosen to screen Beats of the Antonov (2015) by director Hajooj Kuka for the May screening.
The separation of Sudan into two sovereign states has not prevented the longest civil war in the African continent from raging on to this day. The inhabitants of the Blue Nile and Nuba Mountain regions, having fought for the independence of South Sudan, continue to fight for their cultural, ethnic, social, and economic rights.
With Beats of the Antonov, director Hajooj Kuka focuses on the everyday survival of people who have lost kin, homes, and livelihoods in the ongoing conflict, but instead of devastation and defeat, we discover communities emboldened to celebrate their heritage, and to improvise creative ways to continue harvesting crops and herding cattle. With inspiring lucidity, Kuka threads together the voices — speaking and singing — of militants, social workers, intellectuals, and other everyday folk, to reverse conventional representations of victimhood and reveal an alternative narrative of tenacity and resilience.
