Air Means Water,
1–23 August 2025

Air Means Water:A collaboration between “Indonesia”, Singapore (?) and Australia was an exploration into the invisible lines which divide us, the role that water plays as a place of connection, and the differing yet shared histories that shape our contemporary identities. A collaboration between curators Syaza Nisrina, Nadhila Iffa Zakira and Kathryne Genevieve Honey. Exhibited at CAVES, Melbourne, from 1–23 August 2025, Air Means Water brought together the work of Agnes Christina, Fyerool Darma, Amrita Hepi, Megan McPherson, Patriot Mukmin, and Shahmen Suku.

Alongside the exhibition, a rich series of public programs was held across CAVES and the University of Melbourne. These included two film screenings; A River in the Middle of the Sky and Pacukka: The Sour Tradition of South Sulawesi, the latter accompanied by a communal meal catered by Kantan Fitzroy as part of the event To Taste a Place. A panel discussion brought together the artists and curators in conversation. Patriot Mukmin led a hands-on weaving workshop in the Arts Lab. Three curatorial walkthroughs were conducted in the curators’ respective mother tongues: Bahasa with Nadhila Zakira, Malay with Syaza Nisrina, and English (with an Auslan option) with Kathryne Genevieve Honey. The series concluded with an informal coffee and conversation session for students to meet the curators. All events were held in August 2025 were free to attend and open to all.

Supported by the City of Melbourne, and the University of Melbourne through the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

Radical Generosity, 2024

Radical Generosity brought together the work of artists Katherine Hattam, Gyun Hur, Ellen Koshland, Jazz Money, Elvis Richardson, and Mithu Sen, in an exhibition at Haydens gallery. At the heart of this show was a deep exploration of language, how words have the power to shape, heal, or harm, and how naming can be both an act of care and a political intervention. Radical Generosity was not just an exhibition, but a call to action.

A series of intimate, round-table conversations over shared meals were hosted in the gallery throughout October, discussing care, community and collectivity, sharing ideas and food in the spirit of generosity.
