The exhibition Skinship is an exploration of the body as a vessel for memory, resistance, and transformation. Drawing on personal, ancestral, and cultural histories, the exhibition reimagines the body—not merely as flesh and form, but as a site of profound spiritual, ritual, and sacred knowledge.
The exhibition presents works by prominent Far North Queensland-based artists, primarily from the Cairns Art Gallery Collection, whose practices collectively invoke the body as a powerful medium for cultural dialogue and storytelling.
