Opening Day Celebrations: An Offering, A Burning, A Prayer (SOLD OUT)
About
Celebrate Lunar New Year with us on Friday 13 February, 6–8pm, as 4A welcomes the Year of the Fire Horse with the opening night of a major exhibition in 4A’s brand new building.
The Year of the Fire Horse marks a time of new beginnings, clearer direction and renewed momentum. The exhibition, titled ‘An Offering, A Burning, A Prayer’ centres on moments of letting go and renewal, focusing on quiet, healing transitions that carry us from one cycle into the next.
Bringing together Asian Australian and Asian artists, the exhibition moves between family, memory and care. Through newly commissioned works alongside key recent pieces, it unfolds across video, installation, sculpture and material based practices. Drawing on ritual, fire and acts of offering, the works approach transformation as something lived and felt, grounded in remembrance, care and the decision to keep moving forward.
The opening night will feature a DJ set by Maggie Tra, carrying the night into a shared celebration.
