When does patience run out? When does silence become complicity? When is enough finally enough? This powerful group exhibition brings together three nationally recognised artists whose intersecting practices in contemporary ceramics, art and design explore labour, activism and social commentary.
Enough? Enough! ENOUGH features Kara Wood, Raquel Ormella and Zoe Brand, artists who transform materials, words and objects into calls for action. Their work examines social and political systems, individual and collective action, political consciousness, and the shifts in language that shape how we understand power and protest.
Enough? Enough! ENOUGH is more than an exhibition, it invites us to consider where we stand, what we are willing to tolerate, and how the arts can give form to both individual and collective desires for change.
