Gestures of Care - revealing our resilience
6 November 2025 to
30 january 2026
Gestures of Care - revealing our resilience is a collaboration between The Art Bus artists, Uniting Communities, and families in the North, South and West of Adelaide. Celebrating communities that are often viewed as marginalised and at risk, this dynamic, interactive exhibition reflects and explores practices of care within communities through processes of printmaking, painting, ceramics, storytelling and installation. The exhibition recognises that everyday gestures of care and practices of deep listening, attention and reciprocity can have profound community impacts and transform lives. Gestures of Care - revealing our resilience encourages audiences to consider collective care as a way to sustain each other, to build connections, stronger communities and create change in our precarious worlds.
Gestures of Care is presented by The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, The Art Bus and Uniting Communities
UNITING COMMUNITIES

the art bus
The focus of the Art Bus, which is run by Claire Harris and Miranda Harris, is co-designing long-term visual art programs in community settings to allow often marginalised voices to be heard.

The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, the art bus and UNITING COMMUNITIES
While the views presented by speakers within The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre public program are their own and are not necessarily those of either the University of South Australia, or The Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Centre, they are presented in the interest of open debate and discussion in the community and reflect our themes of: Strengthening our Democracy - Valuing our Diversity - Building our Future. The Hawke Centre reserves the right to change their program at any time without notice.
