Blacktown Arts are thrilled to announce Constellations, our final exhibition for 2023. Constellations is a celebration of collective and collaborative art practices on Dharug Country. For the first time, Constellations brings together arts collectives that have been actively making and creating in Sydney’s west; The Adorned Collective, Arab Theatre Studio, Dance Makers Collective, The Finishing School, Opnsrc.co, Pari and We Are Studios. With practices spanning dance, performance, literature, digital and visual arts, Constellations explores what it means to work collectively from and for western Sydney. Constellations features an engaging public program of workshops and discussions about artistic and collective practice led by the collectives themselves. Alongside, a publication featuring a series of commissioned essays and interviews accompanies the exhibition. Pick one up during your visit. Image: Courtesy Constellations designer Huy Nguyen
