Nature is a Home: A Community Exhibition

Opening: Saturday June 28, 12 – 1pm
28 June – 16 July 2025

Group exhibition featuring artists from the west of Narrm (Melbourne)

Nature is a home, and home is more than a location – it’s a story we tell and retell. A story shaped by memory, community, survival and care.

Is caring for the Earth and caring for each other any different? We ask artists to consider how both nature (our home) and community require tending, protection, and renewal.

Coinciding with Louis Joel Arts & Community’s 20th year, Nature is a Home is a group exhibition exploring how memory, creativity and storytelling sustain our responsibility to nurture both nature (our home) and community.

Featured Artists: Ariana Lim, augustine ang, Elijah Cristiano, Dovey Dee, Fatima Measham, Jenny Rütsch, Julee Latimer, Lan Pagliaro, Mischa Wang & Petra Tomecko, Nandita Nadkarni, [Newport Lakes Story Project: Dominique Hes & Wilhemina Wright, Michael Stewart & David "Marrpan" Bryceson], Rhys Delinac, Simone Cavanagh

Nature is a Home is curated by Jasmeet Kaur Sahi
This exhibition is supported by Hobsons Bay City Council and Sweeney Estate Agents.
