Immerse yourself in the subtle beauty of Tango Conway's latest exhibition, Après-coup, showcasing a collection of six delicate drawings created during a residency at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. This opening event invites you to explore the nuanced interplay of memory and art through graphite and charcoal.
Step into a world where each drawing serves as a snapshot of fleeting moments, rendered with a mirrored charcoal surface that invites reflection. The exhibition's title, French for "after the fact," hints at the psychoanalytic concept of deferred action, where memories evolve and gain new meaning over time. Visitors will appreciate the intimate and thoughtful nature of these artworks.
The opening event takes place on Saturday, 18 April 2026, from 14:00 to 16:00. Entry is free, making it an accessible cultural outing for families and art lovers alike. The artist, Tango Conway, currently works on unceded Bidjigal/Gadigal land in Sydney, bringing a unique perspective to the exhibition.
The event is hosted at Shivers Gallery, located at 864 Sydney Rd., Brunswick. Public transport options include tram lines 19, 6, and 1, with the gallery just a five-minute walk from Moreland station. This convenient location makes it easy for parents to plan a relaxed visit with their school-aged children.
Please note that the exhibition opening is a one-time event on the specified date and time. The gallery encourages respectful viewing and quiet appreciation of the artworks. For further inquiries, Emilie Syme-Lamont, the gallery director, can be contacted via phone or email.
No booking is required for this free event. Visitors are welcome to drop in during the opening hours and enjoy the art at their own pace. This is a perfect opportunity for parents seeking a culturally enriching experience for their family without any cost.
