His exhibition LOSSES DISGUISED AS WINS at Firstdraft in Sydney, illuminates the often "invisible" nature of gambling harm, especially its impact on loved ones. Through evocative found objects and images, Nelson reimagines hidden domestic moments, exploring the emotional toll that gambling harm inflicts on those indirectly affected. While substantial research has been conducted on individuals experiencing gambling harm, little attention has been given to its impact on children, who are often silent sufferers.

Nelson’s work amplifies the voices of those who suffer in silence and encourages the audience to challenge the societal structures that enable gambling to flourish and persist. Video: https://youtu.be/o2MGCcRsLa8

From Tate Modern to the National Gallery of Victoria, Atong Atem has captured the eye of curators, critics and collectors alike as an artist who creates beautifully crafted images that explore family, migration and her South Sudanese heritage. Her work explores the inherent intimacy of portraiture and photography as well as the role photographers take as story tellers, interrogating photography as a framework for looking at the world and positioning people in it, inviting the viewer to look at them through a surreal and constructed lens. In this episode, anthropologist and curator Pedram Khosronejad investigates the artist's history, inspiration and projects to come.

Sexuality and gender diversity are not unusual to find within the nature of any artist's work, but perhaps being a result of direct sexual practice is somewhat surprising. Emil Canita was exhibited by MARS Gallery in Melbourne earlier this year, and then later reached a broader audience at Sydney Contemporary. As a trans Filipino sex worker and artist, Emil navigates the intersection of art, identity, and personal expression. Known for evocative videos, captivating storytelling as you'll hear, and intimate Polaroid captures, Emil's raw, intimate works fearlessly explores the complexity of human connection, love, and desire. In this very candid but compelling conversation, Adjunct Professor at Western Sydney University, and Curator at the Grafton Regional Gallery, Pedram Khosronejad uncovers the history, motivation, and the vulnerabilities of Emil Canita.

Created by artists Heidi Axelsen and Hugo Moline, The Dance of the Remediators at The Lock Up in Newcastle is an archive of a possible future; a materialised dream sequence of people being called into action by coal’s humble living relatives.  The artists discuss any cognitive dissonance of honouring the history of coal while also evoking a visual reminder that it is not always a thing to be feared. The large-scale work examines society’s relationship to energy, and recognises coal’s long photosynthetic toil and its living relatives of mosses and ferns.

During the 1860s, a group of artists, nicknamed “the Batignolles group”, regularly met at the Café Guerbois in Paris. Deviating from the academic style, these artists, which were all refused at the Salon de Paris, decided to create their own exhibition in the spring of 1874 at the studio of their photographer friend, Nadar, on the boulevard des Capucines. The inauguration took place on April 15, 1874.

Described as one of the world’s most important living artists, Charles Billich is also one of the most credentialed artists of all time. The modern-day surrealist has enjoyed a colourful, unconventional career and personal life.

He was famously commissioned to develop the Bing Ma Yong Terracotta Warriors series in China, and his works have hung in the White House, the Vatican and the United Nations. His famous surrealist cityscapes of some of the world’s major cities combine popular landmarks and the energy of each location in unexpected ways.
