“heal what was broken”

Heart is an exhibition that explores visual narratives of queer Indigenous identities, contemporary experience and reflections of history. Members from Boomalli and invited artists each developed a concept of the theme ‘heart’ which are presented as love letters of life.

The artworks share stories of love, pride, healing, and truths of how the heart has been broken over time. From experimental, emerging and senior practices, the range of artists present their ‘heart’ as a celebration of strength, culture and identity.
