Our final suite of works for this year's inaugural ๐˜ˆ๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต program debuts tonight โ€” catch it from sundown 'til 9pm, every evening until 4 October.

This curated program of short video works is projected onto the lakeside facade of Belconnen Arts Centre. Take an evening stroll by Lake Ginninderra, or if you're coming to a show in the weeks ahead, why not arrive a little early, have a bite to eat or a drink at Kiln, and linger a little longer...

โœจ๏ธMaker Spotlight: Vspora Art

Magdalena Pillai is a silver and mixed metal jeweller, who focuses on traditional, slow jewellery making techniques to create handmade and one-of-a-kind wearable pieces of art. She studied with a range of silversmithing teachers including Ernst Phenninger, and has continued to learn and evolve her creative practices.

Her jewellery aims to bring individuals into closer harmony with community and nature. She is influenced by the natural environment of the forests, oceans and waterways that surround her and inform her creative practice. She also draws inspiration from a variety of cultural communities due to her time spent travelling in Czech, Italy, Spain and India. Sustainability is a very important motivator for her creation, using recycled metals to minimise mining impacts on the environment and curating fundraising art exhibitions for the Wilderness Society.

She was approached by Milano Jewellery Week and has now exhibited multiple times in the internationally acclaimed exhibition.

09/09/2026

Sasha Trail is an artist and illustrator based at her home studio in central Canberra. Her practice spans several mediums, driven by a curiosity for slow and ritualistic making processes. With a keen eye for observational studies, her paper pulp series marks a new direction towards the exploration of reclaimed fibres and a focus on construction from destruction. The work's undulating forms echo the dunes and waves of the Australian landscape, a shape that repeats in nature the same way her hands repeat the act of making, batch after batch.

Sasha graduated from the Australian National University School of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Design in 2021. She has since worked as a graphic designer, illustrator and arts administrator, and exhibited across several Canberra galleries.
โ 
Sasha's work features in our offsite exhibition ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ดโ , a group exhibition about the relationship between scale, quantity and the awe an artwork can stir, presented across three Suburban Land Agency display homes in Whitlam.โ 

See the exhibition Thursday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm. โ
