Here: After
Fairfield City Museum & Gallery, 26 February – 26 June 2021

Here: After presents radical and fantastical visions for our future. Acting as fortunetellers, soothsayers, dreamers—artists from Fairfield and beyond come together to manifest alternative realities that are intricately personal and connected to place. Speculating on the here and the after, the exhibition imagines expansive, grounded and saturated tomorrows.

Artists: Serwah Attafuah, Kalanjay Dhir, Leila El Rayes & Justine Youssef, Michelle Ly, Jazz Money
Curator: Tian Zhang
