Lateena (Ziggy/Efflam Prié) /  REBIRTHED

Opening Friday evening, 6 Feb - 6pm @ the King Island Gallery.

Rebirthed is a retrospective of works by Lateena (Ziggy / Efflam Prié) created over the past five years living on King Island. The exhibition explores the idea that something continues beyond death, giving a second life to what has passed on. Remnants as bones, shells, and feathers, invite a shift away from a morbid vision of death toward a more open appreciation of transformation and the movement of energy from one form to another.

Exhibition concluded on the 8 March 2026.

AiR

AiR is a group exhibition featuring three former artists in residence – Sharon Peoples, Judith Klavins and Nicole Voevodin-Cash. Each artist presents a curated collection of works that reflects their individual experiences, perspectives and interpretations of their time on King Island. Through diverse mediums and personal storytelling, this exhibition explores the profound impact of the island’s landscapes, histories and culture on their creative processes. AiR celebrates the talent of these three artists and highlights the significance of the King Island Artist Residency program in fostering creativity and cultural exchange. Through this diverse collection of works, visitors will gain insight into the transformative power of place & the multitude of ways artists connect with their surroundings.

Exhibition concluded on 5 January 2026.
