James Tylor and Kyra Mancktelow are included in Thread: Connecting Stories and Community.⁠

Through their respective practices, both artists continue to expand conversations around identity, cultural memory, and community, bringing deeply considered perspectives that resonate throughout the exhibition.⁠

Developed collaboratively between the National Portrait Gallery and Logan-based artists and community, the exhibition brings together historical and contemporary portraits alongside newly commissioned works by local artists. Reflecting Logan’s diverse cultural landscape, Thread fosters deeper cross-cultural understanding through community-engaged storytelling and portraiture.⁠

Darrell Sibosado is included in Vivid Sydney 2026.⁠

Manawan is ode to Bardi Jawi Country in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, the work reimagines the towering tropical gum trees, known as woolybutts, that shape the landscape and cultural life of the north. Installed between Circular Quay and The Rocks, Manawan forms a forest of seven steel poles, each illuminated by vertical bands of light that glow day and night.⁠

Created by Bard artist Darrell Sibosado, the installation reflects on the deep ecological, cultural, and medicinal significance of the Manawan tree for Bard and Jawi peoples, traditionally used for shelter, tools, and weapons and sustained through cool-season cultural burning practices.⁠

Shining across all angles, Manawan radiates with a restorative presence, its generous light symbolising the life force and healing energy held within the trees, the land, and Country. Through the work, Darrell reiterates that Aboriginal culture is a living, adaptive culture that commands presence and power in contemporary art and society.⁠

Sally Scales: New works continues at N.Smith Gallery.⁠

Set against luminous pink grounds, these vibrant new paintings unfold through concentric forms, flowing linework and layered colour fields that pulse across the surface. Through repetition and variation, Sally creates rhythmic compositions where colour, pattern and gesture evoke movement, connection and continuity.⁠⁠

The 2025 Sulman Prize is currently on view at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, featuring works by Joan Ross.⁠

Joan is a finalist in the Sulman Prize with I Tried to Save You (2025–26).⁠

Created in acrylic on canvas, the work continues Joan’s exploration of colonial narratives, environmental fragility, and the complexities of care and responsibility. Through her distinctive use of vivid colour and symbolic imagery, Joan constructs a surreal scene that balances beauty with unease, inviting reflection on human impact and attempted acts of preservation.⁠
