In partnership with the Regional Arts Triennial and Denmark Arts, City of Albany is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition Radical Futures: Fertile Ground.

 

The exhibition will invite Great Southern residents and visitors to imagine a future where fire is no longer associated with devastating loss and is instead bravely accepted as a generative presence in rural and regional life.

 

Curated by Kwoorabup-based emerging Curator Saira Spencer, Radical Futures: Fertile Ground will feature 5 Great Southern and 3 South West artists and creative teams working in a variety of mediums:

​

• Carly Le Cerf & Jean-Michel Maujean (Denmark)

• CYCAD Artist Collective (Margaret River)

• Rachel Falls Williams (Denmark)

• Peter Hill (Northcliffe)

• Freya Joy Parre (Lowlands)

• Ruth Maddren (Denmark)

• Helen Seiver (Bunbury)

• Jo Wassell & Samala Ghosh (Albany/ Denmark)

​​

Exhibition is open to the public at Albany Town Hall from 12 December 2025 until 10 January 2026

Artist and Curator talks will be held on Saturday 13 December 2025 11am-12pm and Saturday 10 January 2026 11am-12pm.
