MORNINGTON Peninsula Regional Gallery (MPRG) invites the community to a rich winter exhibition season, featuring leading contemporary artists, new commissions and interactive experiences for all ages.
Helen Britton: The Story So Far, an Australian Design Centre’s Living Treasures: Masters of Australian Craft touring exhibition, Natalia Miłosz-Piekarska: Sifted Light, In the Company of Animals from the MPRG Collection, Synthetic Memories, and a dedicated children’s activation space designed to spark curiosity and creativity.
Internationally acclaimed artist Helen Britton presents The Story So Far, a personal exhibition exploring memory and creative legacy. Grounded in photographic documentation of her great aunt’s home on Yaegl Country, the exhibition expands into new jewellery, installation, painting and object-based works reflecting on women’s creative resilience and the complexities of Australia’s colonial past and present. It includes the first showing of the photographic series My Godmother’s House, with a major publication.
In Sifted Light, jeweller and artist Natalia Miłosz-Piekarska translates the textures and atmosphere of the Mornington Peninsula into sculptural and wearable works, capturing fleeting moments of light and form and inviting audiences to slow down and engage with place through material and memory.
MPRG is also presenting Synthetic Memories, an Australian first by Barcelona-based organisation Domestic Data Streamers. Through facilitated sessions, community members transform personal stories into AI-generated visual reconstructions exploring technology, storytelling and remembrance. The program is funded through Shire’s Positive Ageing initiative.
The MPRG Collection exhibition In the Company of Animals reflects our relationship with the natural world, while a children’s activation space offers hands-on play, featuring interactive cubby structures and a growing lucky charm necklace adorned with charms made by young visitors.
The winter exhibitions are on display at MPRG until Sunday 23 August. Admission is free. For more information, mprg.mornpen.vic.gov.au
