imprint* EVENTS

At Imprint Australia, we curate community arts events that celebrate authorship, not approval. We believe culture should be lived, shared, and accessible to everyone, not filtered through hierarchy or trend. Each event is an act of collaboration between artists, audiences, and place, designed to amplify underrepresented voices and nurture real connection. We hold space for emerging talent, work in dialogue with First Nations and diverse communities, and create experiences that honour creativity as both a practice and a form of collective belonging.

Staying with the Trouble brings together artists who refuse distance in a world marked by entangled lives, shared vulnerabilities, and ongoing struggle. Drawing on Donna Haraway’s call to “stay with the trouble” to remain present with complexity rather than turn away, this exhibition invites viewers to consider kinship as an active, ethical practice. Here, kinship is not metaphor but commitment: to living and dying well together on a wounded planet, to recognising our responsibilities within overlapping worlds, and to standing with those facing dispossession and violence.

Presented as a fundraiser for humanitarian aid in Palestine, the exhibition holds space for art as solidarity. The works gathered here insist that care is not abstract; it is material, situated, and urgent. By attending closely to the fragile, interdependent threads that bind us, Staying with the Trouble asks how we might respond, with clarity, courage, and compassion, to the crises we inherit and the futures we are still shaping.

A brand new collaboration between Imprint Australia and Borderspace. This community arts event is currently still in development with the underlying ethos of promoting new and emerging artistic voices, while pushing the boundaries of traditional gallery events and by breaking down the pretence that too often surrounds them.
