The 2023 iteration of Museum of Contemporary Art Australia’s annual exhibition for artists aged thirty-five years and under, curated by Talia Smith, considers the idea of the “collective body” and the ways in which communities and growing movements attempt to question, challenge and manoeuvre through failing societal structures. The six participating early-career artists – Tiyan Baker, Christopher Bassi, Moorina Bonini, Nikki Lam, Sarah Poulgrain, and Truc Truong – investigate themes of protest, perseverance, and reimagining through their works of various media, including installation, video, painting, sculpture, and text.
