Carriageworks unveils a festival of delights

Carriageworks in Eveleigh is pulling out all the stops for next year’s Sydney Festival; a compendium of the newest art and performances that features across Sydney city. The program announced for Carriageworks includes a plethora of new and exciting art that pushes boundaries and hones in on important topics.

The Sydney Festival has been running across the city since 1977, and has grown to become one of Australia’s largest cultural events.

Major exhibitions

Major exhibitions will be dedicated to Australian artists Paul Yore and The Huxleys.

Yore’s art comes in partnership with the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art (ACCA) to bring an immersive mixed media installation named WORD MADE FLESH. Architecturally scaled and created to draw upon a pastiche of materials and ideas, the exhibit engages with ideas of queer identity and Anthropocene.

The Huxleys will bring major exhibition, Bloodlines – a tribute to queer artists who lost their lives during the AIDS epidemic – to Carriageworks.

Also on the agenda is an ambitious mega mural by Arrernte and Kalkadoon artist Thea Anamara Perkins. The mural covers the walls of the public space at Carriageworks, and was painted over a three week period.
