Join Head Curator, Samantha Comte for a floor talk on our current exhibition Hany Armanious: Stone Soup.

In Stone Soup, leading Australian artist Hany Armanious transforms everyday objects, from crackers and candles to paint trays and lumps of Blu-Tack, into near-perfect doubles that make the familiar feel newly alive. Join us to explore Hany’s practice, which invites us to pause, look closer and rediscover the joy of seeing things as if for the very first time.

Visitors to the event can also participate in Unresolved Sentiments, a free activity in the gallery foyer. Drawing on Hany’s playful spirit of transformation and improvisation, this hands-on activity invites you to be creative and uncover the hidden poetic humour in everyday objects.

Hany Armanious: Stone Soup runs until 11 April 2026.
