ARTIST’S TALK

Yuwi, Australian South Sea and Torres Strait Islander artist Dylan Mooney returns to Mackay as artist-in-residence to paint a mural on the gallery’s seventeen metre foyer wall.

Join Dylan during the first week of his two week residency for an artist’s talk where he’ll discuss the creation of this latest site-specific artwork—exploring themes that extend on his recent advocacy for climate action, and draw on his water connections in response to rising sea levels and the impact this has on island communities.

5:30pm Thursday 11 May 2023

Artspace Mackay, Civic Precinct, Gordon St
