Emergence exhibition opens August 9 at Sturt Gallery

 

"Emergence – The process of becoming visible after being concealed, to reappear and to resurface."

Curated by Slavica Zivkovic, Emergence is the second of Sturt Gallery’s ‘lockdown’ exhibitions for 2020, that is, those put together at short notice to replace a cancelled program due to COVID 19.
