Have you or someone in your family been part of movements for peace, resistance or justice?

Artist and researcher Alex Martinis Roe (VCA, University of Melbourne) is inviting Sutherland Shire locals to take part in Daughters of the Resistance, a research project exploring how histories of resistance, peace activism and women's liberation are carried forward through storytelling, kinship and memory.

Alex is especially keen to hear from the daughters, by birth or by close relationship, of women involved in resistance movements, anti-colonial struggles or peace and liberation activism.

Participation is a relaxed, recorded conversation (about an hour), and you'll have full opportunity to review your contribution before it's shared.

Interested? Get in touch: [email protected]

This project is connected to Alex Martinis Roe's upcoming exhibition at Hazelhurst Arts Centre, opening late 2027.

It's your last chance to see "Milli Jannides: The tip of the tongue" at Hazelhurst.

Layered, quietly unsettling and impossible to rush, these oil paintings reward a slow look.

Thank you to everyone who has visited so far. If you haven't made it in yet, this weekend is your last opportunity.

Free and open daily until Sunday 30 August, 10am to 4pm.

A pile of keys sat on Milli Jannides's studio floor for months. When she finally pressed their shapes into the canvas using crayon and frottage, something clicked.

Keys appear across several works in "The tip of the tongue", pressed into paint, rendered in wax, dreamed about. Drawn from novelist Mario Levrero's reflection that the keys we lose are often the keys to ourselves, they become a quietly compelling thread running through the exhibition.

It is the kind of detail that rewards a slow look.

Exhibition continues until Sunday 30 August, open daily from 10am to 4pm, free entry.

In the Broadhurst Gallery
Grounded: Holly Eva, Anthea Stead, Tanya Stubbles, Alison Wi******er
Until 1 September

Grounded brings together four artists connected by a love of the earth and sustainable making.

Tanya Stubbles transforms reclaimed timber into sculptural forms with history and soul. Anthea Stead paints coastlines and green forests, capturing the quiet strength of nature. Alison Wi******er works with raw wool, felting directly from the sheep’s back to honour slow craft. Holly Eva re-imagines discarded materials, proving everything can become art with vision and care.

United by purpose, these artists value authenticity over excess. They remind us there are enough materials on the planet, what we need is awareness, creativity, and connection.

"I believe that the main thing in beginning a novel is to feel, not that you can write it, but that it exists on the far side of a gulf, which words can't cross."

— Virginia Woolf, in a letter to Vita Sackville-West

Milli Jannides returns often to writers: Virginia Woolf, Anaïs Nin, Mario Levrero, Anne Truitt. Their words find their way into titles, into the logic of a composition, into the reasons a painting is finally finished.

"Words can't cross" began as a large blue painting that sat complete for months. It was only finished after another work failed entirely: a sliver of that failed canvas placed quietly on top of the blue. Then it was done.

"Milli Jannides: The tip of the tongue" continues until Sunday 30 August, open daily from 10am to 4pm, free entry.
