Kultura Collectiva: Theatre of Memories

Next date: Friday, 14 March 2025 | 09:00 AM to 08:00 PM

Theatre of Memories is an immersive art installation that harmonises the tactile art of Batik painting with modern digital technology, creating a narrative that explores the local history of the Lake Macquarie region.

This captivating artwork is composed of three main elements, each contributing to a richly layered visual and sensory experience. "Theatre of Memories" provides a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of traditional and digital mediums, encouraging contemplation on the ways in which art can build bridges between different time periods and cultural expressions.

Miya Kaneko's exhibition Four Prefaces to Recalling Lost Memories transforms the foyer of the Muli-Arts Pavilion, mima into an intimate space of quiet discovery. On view now in collaboration with Theatre of Memories until 20 April.
