To June 15 Current / Teho Ropeyarn.
Since bipotaim – the Torres Strait Creole word meaning “before time” – oral histories have been one of the main ways that Indigenous people have ensured that important traditional knowledge is not lost. For Teho Ropeyarn, of the Angkamuthi and Yadhaykanu clans which settled Injinoo in Western Cape York, that vehicle for the safeguarding of tradition is printmaking. Ropeyarn’s prints, brought to life with energetic design and colour, demonstrate an intimate understanding of the natural world. They convey a knowledge of specific land and waters, in Ropeyarn’s words, “from the inside out.” Further, he says “the stories embedded in these prints are not just about place – they are about family, belonging, and continuity.”

Printmaking has become synonymous with the art of the Indigenous people of the Torres Strait and far north Queensland. The processes of this contemporary medium echo age-old traditions of carving, etching and incising patterns onto ritual and trade objects which were used throughout the islands of the Pacific. Modern technologies and innovation have changed the cultural landscape of printmaking in the region as it has everywhere in the world. Ropeyarn is at the vanguard of this artform, exploring its potential in expanded spatial practice, and demonstrating that tradition is not static, it is shifting and dynamic, and evolves in order to survive.

To May 30 Liss Fenwick.
In alignment with the 2025 Heritage Festival, Art Gallery of Ballarat presents video and photographic works by artist Liss Fenwick. Fenwick was the winner of the Fineman New Photography Prize 2021 at the Ballarat International Foto Biennale and exhibited work last year in London at the Victoria and Albert Museum. They live between Humpty Doo in the Northern Territory and Naarm/Melbourne. Fenwick’s practice uses audio-visual techniques and visual languages as they critique human-centeredness and Eurocentrism. Inspired by discovering a colony of termites chewing through their late father’s belongings, The colony cares for everyone and the photographic series COLONY (Mastotermes Darwiniensis) are a close-up study of the vulnerable and ephemeral nature of books. Significantly, the termites feed off antiquated texts that “celebrate the history of colonialism, and the extractive industries that underpin it,” according to the artist. Despite the powerful impact of the history and heritage carried within the books, the giant northern termite works through the pages using their own complex ancient logic. Texts are eaten away until meaning is transformed – knowledge-source becomes food-source – and the paper is returned to its organic origins. With time, human-made history inevitably must face up to the powerful forces of nature.

Backspace Gallery – 43 Mair Street Ballarat:
May 17 to June 29 Stephanie Cartledge: Conservation Status.
Stephanie Cartledge, an artist and muralist, derives inspiration for her stylised works from the distinct beauty of Australia’s native flora and fauna. After collaborating with several large organisations, including Art Aid, BirdLife Australia and Sanrio, Cartledge’s latest artworks will be presented in her first solo exhibition in her hometown of Ballarat. Conservation Status raises awareness around how humans have impacted the survival of several different native Victorian animals. As classified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), each species presented in Cartledge’s exhibition is under imminent threat, and by depicting these magnificent creatures through an artistic perspective, viewers are encouraged to become advocates for environmental preservation and contemplate the fragile state of the natural world.
