Join us in the Outer Space Main Gallery to celebrate the opening of Climate of Violence II: Lamentum by Arianna Nixon & Amy Sargeant.
About the exhibition
Climate of Violence: Lamentum is the latest exploration in sound and vision by Arianna Nixon & Amy Sargeant.
The dust has barely settled. A sacred tether becomes strained and defiled. Screams become whispers in the fog of war & the breath of a coming storm runs down your neck.

About the artists
Arianna Nixon (she/her) employs a dialectical materialist approach to surrealism, creating performance & installation-based artwork utilising proprietary analog video techniques. Her art exists in context with the ongoing oppression of transgender communities, and is motivated by her personal experiences as a trans activist in Magan-djin. She continues to explore her arts practice, delving into new layers of graphic distortion and visual dissonance.

Amy Sargeant (she/her) is a Magan-djin (Brisbane) based visual artist, musician and trans justice advocate. Through installations of sculpture, audio, video and performance Amy’s work responds to her experiences as a trans woman and the climate of violence she experiences by reframing the elements of political spectacle. Amy deploys the Situationist method of detournement to destabilise motifs from mainstream politics, activist iconography, symbols and visual cultures.
