Announcing upcoming exhibition My Blood Sings Old Songs at La Trobe Art Institute.
Exhibition opening: Friday 22 May, 5–7 pm
La Trobe Art Institute, 121 View St, Bendigo VIC 3550
Refreshments provided
Welcome to Country with Peta Hudson
My Blood Sings Old Songs gathers artists who capture what is not always said—but deeply felt. The works in this exhibition resonate over time, unravelling layers of the body and the quiet weight of being seen, where movement becomes a vessel for remembrance.
Hovering between an ending and a beginning, each gesture holds the knowledge that there’s a certain sadness of memories that cannot be shared with those who were never there. Yet what ties us together is a shared understanding that ripples across cultures and communities, through performance and the spaces between what is known and shadowed.
Through new commissions and existing works, artists Atong Atem, Leyla Stevens, Jahkarli Felicitas Romanis (Pitta Pitta), Jenna Lee (Gulumerridjin (Larrakia), Wardaman, and KarraJarri), Sonja Hodge (Lardil), wani toaishara, and Tracey Moffatt consider how memory is embodied and passed on—honouring echoes of legacy, grief and joy, and cultural storytelling held within our bloodlines.
