Eddie Abd’s artwork ‘Awakening’ explores withdrawal as a powerful statement, through a video family portrait hidden within a hand-embroidered QR code. Now showing in ‘Heirloom’. 🪡

“Since the genocide in Gaza began, I was thinking through my own complicity with various systems that shape my life. As someone who migrated from Lebanon, I live now with my family on Dharug Country, land whose sovereignty was never ceded. The body of work was developed with the guidance and friendship of esteemed Dharug artist and educator Leanne Tobin, who coined the term that would become the title, Awakening.

This work speaks to my experience as a storyteller, whose first impulse at the beginning of my journey here on this continent, as a creative, as a migrant, was to share my story: explaining who I am, where I have come from, what I have left behind. For Awakening, we decided that we are at a moment beyond telling our story - this is that point in time for our trajectory; everyone has their own. As a family, we have withdrawn our consent for our story to be consumed. Unfolding yourself from complicities can take many forms.”

What a throwback 📼 In our current exhibition ‘Heirloom’, Samira El Chami is showing a series of ceramic cassettes.

Inspired by her family’s vast collection, the cassettes are carved with Arabic phrases or lyrics which reflect casual and humorous conversations in daily life. The saturated colours and glazes applied on the pieces’ surface point out how nostalgia allows an individual to reminisce about the past in an optimistic way, like the surface with the written word to the recipient, the colours fading away from years of use and the years they were forgotten packed away in a closet.

Hand building the cassettes with clay and imitating its size create an intimate experience when the piece is held. The artist encourages us to think about the unique experience that comes with listening to music from a cassette – an act that is more intentional than accessing songs from your phone, that reminds you to be intentional and slow with your actions.

Behind every ordinary suburban fence is a story. Come and experience Harrison Mäe’s artwork ‘A Colorbond fence stand between you and I’, a mediation on grief and separation.

“My work emerged as a response to a period of great personal loss. My father – from whom I was estranged - passed away suddenly in early 2023. Two months to the day of his death my brother, mother and I were given notice of eviction from the rental property we shared. Left bereft following my father’s passing and expelled from my home, I was overwhelmed with grief. In the wake of this immense loss, I began returning to the areas I grew up in, and the different houses I had lived in with my family. In these returns the suburban fence emerged as an expanded drawing; a medium through which I can convey my grief, and an allegory for conceptualising the finality of these losses. Through conversation, through graphite, and through moving image the fence becomes a drawing - a line that separates me from what I have lost.”

Join us for Grief is a Circle, a guided workshop and gathering by Heirloom artist Cass Li cass li

Grief Tending is a practice of giving time, space and expression to our grief in a compassionate group setting, free of expectation and judgement. Participants are invited to reflect on lived experiences of grief, loss and healing, connecting to themselves as well as a collective.

Drawing on her own experiences of losing her grandparents, cultural disappearances and familial disconnection, Cass will guide participants through intuitive writing exercises and open group conversation. This grief circle serves to witness personal and community stories of grief in a gentle and trauma-sensitive informal gathering.

Participants are encouraged to bring their diary or a notebook. Tea and snacks will be provided.

Disclaimer: Participants are responsible for their own emotional well-being and for helping create a supportive, emotionally-safe space for others. Please use discretion when sharing, particularly when discussing topics that may be distressing or triggering.

Pari is open this weekend with our latest exhibition, ‘Heirloom’ 🪞Gaze into a bedazzling beauty box by Alice McCool.

“‘Create New Beauty’ considers how ideas of beauty influence and racialise experiences of visibility. It asks whether beauty can be liberated from inherited ideologies. Can it become a site of resistance, rather than recognition?

Situated within a beauty box that draws on traditional Korean design (gyeongdae 경대), the select video content subverts the promotion of Korean beauty products by Western ‘influencers’. Engaging with notions of exoticism, power and appropriation, the work troubles
ideas of beauty that have been defined in opposition to non-Western features.

Attending to the commercialisation of K-beauty, Create New Beauty gestures towards other histories of the globalisation of Korean bodies and identities.”

Come spend a moment of reflection with Cass Li’s photographic series, ‘conjunto não precisa chorar (Together* There's No Need to Cry)’.

“This series follows Kung Kung's passing, beginning with observing domestic spaces transformed by death, absence and traditional mourning rites within the Chinese Timorese community, exploring cultural and generational Passages.

The title of this body of work comes from the name of my late grandfather's band that he was a
in with his brothers. [...] The project is a personal reflection on filial guilt, cultural inheritance, and implicitly, how diasporic longing influences the value of preserving tradition and the meaning of objects left behind.”

This iteration of the work centres the artist’s grandparent’s home, brought together as a cluster resembling a family picture frame collage, displaying quiet moments of grief, gestures and gathering.

Join us for ‘Languages of Care’, a performance workshop by Danica Knežević Danica Knežević. 🪜 Come learn and perform basic caregiving actions with a stranger, friend or loved one. And in turn, to be cared for by them.

⏰Time: Sunday 25 Oct, 12PM—2PM
📍Location: In-person at Pari, 14 Hunter Street, Parramatta 2150

This workshop investigates the performative dimensions of care through the repetition of everyday caring actions. By attending to communication, consent, and bodily interaction, it reveals how care is negotiated through both spoken and unspoken forms of exchange.

We will have group discussions on how the actions felt and their significance in the context of daily caregiving.

🧥👔 Please bring a jacket or shirt (an item of clothing that can be easily taken on or off)

Come and visit our latest exhibition ‘Heirloom’ ✶⋆.˚⋆⊱༻𖥸༺⊰⋆
We invite you to sit with this video work, ‘Invisible Agent’ by Danica Kneževic.

“Invisible Agent documents seven days of repeatedly lifting my mother's wheelchair in and out of the car to support her daily needs. The wheelchair functions as an extension of her body, enabling movement within and beyond the home. As a device designed to support and carry the body, it becomes both an object and an infrastructure of care. However, the occupant is absent. The only visible body is my own, engaged in the repetitive labour of assembling, lifting, and disassembling the wheelchair.

Drawing on lived experiences of caregiving, the work examines often-invisible forms of labour and the bodies that perform them. While accompanying my mother in public, I have frequently witnessed others address me rather than her, even when she is the person speaking. These encounters reveal how disability, care, and caregiving labour can remain unseen despite being essential to everyday life.”

An heirloom is something that holds memories and stories beyond its physical presence. Often passed down from one generation to the next, these objects can contain sacred space for joy, love and grief tied to the everyday. Conjuring the home and rituals within, heirlooms act as living archives for the labour dedicated to their making and caretaking.

Gathering a collection of artworks that reframe ‘heirloom’ in varying perspectives, this exhibition unravels the complexity in domestic spaces. Some artists involve, invite or interrogate family whether chosen or bound by blood. Extending critique to the dominant culture, artists reclaim everyday home life from prescribed narratives. They author new visions of being and caring for one another, grounded in working class, diasporic, q***r and trans realities; while striving to preserve cultural practices that quietly uphold communities.

Heirloom is a call to question what we inherit, and to shift our attention to invisible things to cherish.
