Karla Dickens: Rise and Fall 2024

published: 29 Nov 2024, 3 min read

when: 07 December 2024 - 02 February 2025 | venue: Bondi Pavilion | cost: Free | address: Queen Elizabeth Drive, Bondi Beach NSW 2026

Rise and Fall is a new installation that explores climate catastrophe from a First Nations perspective.

Created by acclaimed Wiradjuri artist Karla Dickens in response to the devastating floods that impacted her hometown of Lismore in February 2022, Rise and Fall combines sculpture, photography and video. Putting a post-apocalyptic spin on the mermaid mythologies of Bondi (where Dickens lived in her youth), Rise and Fall conveys urgent ideas of what it means to fight for survival and change in a world hanging by a thread, where shared responsibility for action is crucial.

Rise and Fall runs 10am to 5pm daily from 7 December 2024 to 2 February 2025.

Rise and Fall by Karla Dickens, curated by Daniel Mudie Cunningham, and presented by Bondi Pavilion, was proudly commissioned by Waverley Council. Karla is represented by STATION Gallery.
