Andrew Rogers is a leading contemporary Australian artist whose work is exhibited in major galleries across Australia and internationally. His work can be found in prominent public and private collections around the world. This exhibition will celebrate a selection of his most recent work, not previously seen in Melbourne.

Since 2020, this project has explored the counter-geography of displaced objects and alternative mappings of migrant materials through playful drawing and storytelling. Zein’s work delves into the fluid relationships between body, object, land, and labour, reflecting on the invisibility of labour and the violence of displacement. This exhibition revalues the decorative act and migrant materials, linking modernity’s aesthetics with displacement. Click here to learn more about Tashabok.
