2025 Revealed Exhibition
This month, Marnin Studio artists Marion Bear, Deborah Yadda, and Julie Wallaby proudly showcased their work at the 2025 Revealed Exhibition at PICA.
The Marnin Studio team made the journey to Perth to participate in a week of workshops and events coordinated by the Aboriginal Art Centre Hub of Western Australia (AACHWA).
The week began with a powerful Smoking Ceremony at Kaarta Gar-up, Kings Park, where we were welcomed to Country by Noongar Elders. From there, we attended workshops at the State Library of Western Australia, WA Museum Boola Bardip, and North Metropolitan TAFE — a week rich with learning, connection, and inspiration.
A highlight was the Saturday Art Market, where we joined a bustling and vibrant community of artists, art lovers, and supporters. After some time apart, it was incredibly special to reconnect with the broader Aboriginal arts community in such a lively and welcoming space.
Thank you to everyone who made the week so memorable. We are proud to be part of this strong and resilient network of Aboriginal artists and art centres.
