Current Exhibitions
Mahsa Makki (Misha McKee): Sewing Place to Time
Sewing Place to Time is a Farsi (Persian) expression meaning “trying hard to do something quite impossible”.
This exhibition sews together the past, present, future, elsewhen, here, there, and elsewhere, to respond to Bhabha’s (2012) unrepresentable Third Space. In doing so, through capturing the fleeting, mundane moments of everyday life, the naïve and whimsical illustrations, try hard to represent the unrepresentable.
Mahsa, is a visual practitioner-researcher whose work explores the interconnections between illustration, identity, culture, and everyday life. This exhibition forms part of her PhD project, an autoethnographic practice-based enquiry into the lived experience of a migration journey.
