Grey Gardens Gallery respectfully acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which we operate, the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to their Elders, past, present and becoming, acknowledging that sovereignty has never been ceded in so-called ‘Australia’.

Grey Gardens Gallery is a radical, fundamentally queer, community-based project space that is interested in fostering experimental and speculative modes of exhibition and performance. Our project space is a platform that works to actively dismantle the barriers of industry that cultural institutions maintain, embrace diverse perspectives and primarily support emerging voices.

Queer art, social and performance spaces have long been integral to the exploration and development of queer identities. During this period of physical distancing, these spaces have faced temporary closure, forcing us to find alternative places in which to celebrate, perform and determine our identities. Artists working across performance and other modes of live engagement have had to drastically reconsider creative output.

How might we now engage with our audience? How might we now share our stories with our community? How might we take care of each other?
