November 22, 2025 - April 12, 2026 Organized and circulated by The Reach Gallery Museum; guest curated by Sajdeep Soomal.
A survey of recent works by artist Simranpreet Anand, including collaborative pieces with artist and ethnomusicologist Conner Singh VanderBeek. Anand’s practice, indebted to familial and cultural community, engages materials and concepts drawn from the histories of Punjab and its diasporas. The title of the exhibition, sheesh ‘ch thareṛ, captures the fissures emerging from her ongoing encounters with matter and material culture in our globalized world. The show centres around ਬੰਦੇ ਚਸਮ ਦੀਦੰ ਫਨਾਇ / bande chasm deedn fanaai (Ang 723), a body of works that takes the synthetic, plastic-laden material culture that surrounds contemporary Sikh institutions as its starting point. Parallel to this series are works that consider the fabric of everyday life, attending to its embodied histories and gendered contexts of labour.

Directed by Sophia Treanor
In a land where myth and reality intertwine, undocumented immigrant Elif spends her days shearing sheep, each tuft of wool floating skyward to form rainclouds over a distant, wealthy city. When she becomes a mother, she travels to the capital seeking citizenship for her child, only to confront an unforgiving bureaucracy built to keep her out. At its heart, it is a powerful story of a mother determined to reshape the future for the child she loves.

Three Victoria artists present Writ Large - Contemporary Works on Paper
Three Victoria artists draw on their pasts as professional writers and editors to exhibit a collection of large-format works inspired by the emotional and intellectual energy of written language.
Georgina Montgomery, Louise Oborne, and MaryLou Wakefield use words and text as part of their visual language to amplify a compelling idea, question, or life experience personally meaningful to them.
In this series, the artists demonstrate their individual stylistic approaches to interpreting 'Writ Large' and invite viewers to find their own meaning and interpretation in the works.
Writ Large will be on at arc.hive artist run centre October 4 - 19 and open for viewing Saturdays and Sundays from 12 - 4 pm.
An opening reception with the artists in attendance will be on Friday, October 3, from 7 - 9 pm.
For more information about the artists and the exhibition, visit www.writ-large.art
