One of the city’s most talented young artists will have her work on display at Logan Art Gallery from next week.
Kyra Mancktelow, a Quandamooka, Mardigan and South Sea Islander woman, is multi-talented and artworks include prints, sculptures, ceramics, paintings and weavings.
It’s her first major solo exhibition by the woman who designed the mural on Chester Park’s water reservoir in Boronia Heights.
Her works, entitled Unsilenced, will be on display at the gallery from June 11 to July 24, which overlaps with NAIDOC Week from July 4 to 11.
Kyra’s works explain how she and other First Nations people view the world through distinct ways of life such as land, law and ceremony.
To also mark NAIDOC Week, this round of exhibitions includes Elders’ choice: highlights from the Logan Art Collection exhibition.
Representatives from the Logan District Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Elders have curated a selection of local artworks from the Logan Art Collection.
Other exhibitions include:
• Rochedale South artist Yu Chao Du’s Doll Park will highlight elements of his life and what influences him artistically
• Cornubia artist Christopher Maddox’s exhibition “Onto your wall from outerspace” will showcase artworks he has created from satellite images which he digitally manipulates
• World Environment Day posters will be on display.
