CLIMATE CITYLIFE Lightbox Exhibition Celebration & Public Talk 5.30pm Wednesday, September 2nd
Nightcliff Foreshore
We had to cancel the offical opening of the CLIMATE Citylife Lightbox Exhibition in April due to COVID restrictions, but now we are very excited to celebrate this wonderful exhibition together this September!
Join Darwin Visual Arts and the City of Darwin
to view three of the lightbox pieces on display and hear from Dr Kristin Metcalfe, CDU Fellow and Environmental Scientist, as she speaks on the carbon sequestration services that Darwin's mangroves perform.
Join us on the Nightcliff Foreshore (east of the Nightcliff Pool), at 5.30pm sharp for this free public talk.
There will be time to ask questions of Dr Metcalfe afterwards and to meet some of the artists involved in the lightbox exhibition.
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR ATTENDANCE via the Facebook event
for catering purposes and so we can allow for adequate social distancing measure to be in place.

This exhibition reflects the ‘Revitalisation’ of ‘Femininity’ and ‘Cultural Resilience’.
These pieces capture the spirit and rebellion of the world’s most unforgettable musicians.
Inspired by the unpredictable nature and vivid colours of Darwin’s wet season
Discover the bold, imaginative world of Darwin’s own trailblazing publisher Wild North Comics.
Explore the nature of local lifestyles with intent to
capture funky fashions and everyday living in Darwin.
The artworks displayed will depict the fun, enigmatic and colourful existence of
tropical Darwin during the day, and the busy, energetic nightlife around its local
haunts.
Step into the vibrant world of the Australian Top End with Colours of Home, an exhibition of predominantly pastel paintings that capture the striking beauty of the local landscape.
‘Ways of Seeing: Miya/Significant Plants – Beginnings’ showcases works from five culturally diverse, female artists – Glynis Lee, Angelina Lewis, Juwayning Lorraine Williams, Linda Yarrowin, Nena Zanos - created during a printmaking project at Wagait Beach. Artworks reflect each artist’s personal connection to chosen plants. Accompanying stories and video communicate cultural knowledge.
The viewer is exposed to obscurities of the universe including artwork, ‘Solar Flare’ depicting a solar explosion also, ‘Meteor Shower’ and ‘Supernova’. Energy and passion are radiating from the paintings, highlighting intensity. In contrast, ‘The Wormhole’ and ‘Galaxy’s Breath’ depict the timelessness and constancy of galaxies and the beyond.
Have you ever spent so long not talking to other people that when you finally did, your voice cracked? Have you ever been somewhere so remote that if you died, no-one would know and you might not be found for weeks - if ever?
