Around the Block is an outdoor exhibition of moving image works, unfolding across Next Wave, Blak Dot Gallery, Counihan Gallery, and Michelle Guglielmo Park from 9 July – 20 August.

Works will change every two weeks, allowing the program to shift over time – something to return to or stumble upon again.

These artists were selected through open calls initiated by Next Wave, Blak Dot and Counihan Gallery. The program platforms artists from a diversity of lived experiences, many of whom are emerging in their practice, and engages with themes of identity, place, playfulness, and temporality.

Join us for our opening event at Blak Dot Gallery on Thursday 9 July, and for exhibitions tours hosted by Next Wave on Friday 24 July and Thursday 6 August.
