Mothers’ Refusal: Karla Dickens + Rosanna Raymond presented by Dissident Kin
Exhibition | 9 - 24 October 2026
APY Gallery Redfern, Sydney, Australia
This contemporary exhibition of original works by Wiradjuri installation artist, weaver and collagist Karla Dickens and Samoan New Zealand artist Rosanna Raymond is born of ‘bloody instinct and kissable lips’, shaped by ancestral lineages and urban experience, offering a sharp-witted commentary on cultural sovereignty and matriarchal tenacity.

Oceanic Art Speaks - Ben Shaw
Live Talk | 7:30 pm 28 October 2026 (East Coast Australia)
Online
Register to hear Ben Shaw, archaeologist and Associate Professor in the School of Culture, History and Language at The Australian National University, talk about aspects of his latest book Developing Maritime Economies of the Pre-Colonial Massim, Papua New Guinea: The Making of an Island World and the Foundations of Kula by Cambridge University Press.
Ben’s research is geographically focused on Papua New Guinea where he has undertaken extensive fieldwork over the past 17 years across many island, coastal and highland regions. He has also worked in Australia, New Zealand, and French Polynesia. Ben’s research spans the full length of human history from colonisation through to historic contexts. His major interest is the interplay between past climates, environments, and human behaviours. He is currently working in the islands of the Milne Bay Province and the Bogia-Ramu area in the Madang Province of Papua New Guinea.
Ben will address two research questions outlined in his book:
1. To what extent can the Massim be considered an economic region in the precolonial past?
2. Is Kula a suitable model for precolonial economies in the Massim islands?
