SUMMARY:Chinese Restaurant Playground
DESCRIPTION:Chinese Restaurant Playground by Steffie Yee 余淑婷\, is an exhibition about childhood\, imaginative play\, and finding joy within the frenetic settings of her parents’ Chinese restaurant. \nThe exhibition presents a multimedia collection of finished works\, and works in progress\, exploring the artist’s experience growing up in the regional NSW town of Branxton. Through multilingual animations\, videos\, illustrations and photographs\, Steffie seeks to humanise the people behind the ‘local Chinese restaurant’\, whose stories risk being lost due to language barriers and a long record of cultural history that predominantly spotlights Anglo-Celtic and European migration – particularly in regional Australian narratives. \n“Having served four generations of customers for over 40 years\, my parents’ Chinese restaurant\, Yee’s\, was the backdrop of my childhood. From rollerblading on the tiles through the restaurant\, using pot lids as cymbals\, making play dough from spring roll pastry batter\, and riding a motorbike in the yard behind the restaurant\, this exhibition is an artistic documentation of my memories as a child of Malaysian-Chinese restaurant owners in Branxton.” \n– Steffie Yee 余淑婷 \nSteffie Yee 余淑婷 has been part of our our Residence program – designed to provide a supportive environment for independent artists\, collectives\, and small to medium-sized organisations to cultivate a vibrant artistic community in the western suburbs. \nThis exhibition is the outcome of a year within the historic Henderson House studios\, where Steffie Yee 余淑婷 was able to elevate their artistic practice and embark on new creative endeavours. \nPlease join us for the opening event of this exhibition on Saturday 29 June 2024\, 2—4pm. \nExhibition Date: 12 June—15 September 2024 \n

SUMMARY:Sutures
DESCRIPTION:Footscray Community Arts is delighted to present Sutures\, an exhibition by Sophie Cassar that explores the sexual politics of disability through photography\, text\, and artist books.   \nSutures emerges from Cassar’s research into online archives of disability-based fetish material. These works confront the often-blurred lines between medical intervention and non-consensual touch.   \nIn her artist books\, Cassar places photographs from her personal archive alongside texts painted in chlorhexidine\, a medical antiseptic used for preoperative skin disinfection. Pink-tinged and delicate\, this pairing explores the idea of an “embodied perpetual girlhood”\, underscoring the persistent intrusion of medical treatment in shaping one’s sexuality and self-perception.   \nThroughout the exhibition\, Sutures offers a reflection on desirability politics\, and the subjective influence of both the medical and sexual gaze.  \nExhibition Date: 12 June—2 November 2024 \n
