DESCRIPTION
In MIST on JAD, continuing her ongoing artistic inquiry into memory, colonial heritage, and the erasure of both people and landscapes, Flora Nguyen examines terrains shaped by climate change and colonisation. She draws from both living archives, such as the Jardin
d’Agronomie Tropicale in Paris, and historical ones, including materials from former Indochina preserved in French museums, interwoven with her own personal archives.
Created on canvas, these works blur the boundaries between painting and photography, as well as between representation and reality.

Extraordinary Women
Organised into four thematic sections, the exhibition traces the ways women have navigated and reshaped their public and private identities over time. ‘Best Foot Forward’ examines the carefully curated personas and the public-facing images created by women appearing at court or onstage from the seventeenth to the nineteenth centuries. ‘Celebrity’ presents paintings, photographs and fashion commemorating notable Australian women working in music, cinema, literature, sport, chemistry, design and theatre. ‘Independence and Empowerment’ focuses on artists who use their work to reclaim power and autonomy, challenging societal expectations of gender. ‘Embodied Histories’ foregrounds First Nations and culturally diverse artists whose works challenge colonial portrayals of identity.
