About the Exhibition
Exhibition Title | Tracing the Sky: Celebrating the Wetlands of Chile and Australia
Artists | Eggpicnic: Camila De Gregorio and Christopher Macaluso | Jocelyn Aracena
Exhibition Statement
Tracing the Sky: Celebrating the Wetlands of Chile and Australia celebrates the wetlands of both countries through a blend of art, ecology, and cultural connection. Presented in the context of the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and alongside Chile’s national celebration on 18 September, the exhibition explores the shared importance of wetland ecosystems and the migratory journeys they support.
Through sculpture, paintings, audiovisual works, and augmented reality experiences, Tracing the Sky highlights the critical role wetlands play for migratory bird species, while drawing parallels with the human stories of migration, particularly the Chilean diaspora in Australia.
By weaving together ecological awareness and lived experiences, the exhibition invites audiences to reflect on the deep interdependence between nature, culture, and movement across landscapes. Tracing the Sky offers not only a celebration of biodiversity but also a call to preserve these vital habitats and to honour the lasting ties between Chile and Australia.
