CODED FUTURE
FRIDAY 20 FEBRUARY
5:30–8:30PM
CODED FUTURE is an immersive exhibition and live performance by Eleanor Jawurlngali, an interdisciplinary artist and performer and a member of the Tennant Creek Brio collective. Working across sound, live performance, and exhibition-based practice, Eleanor creates experiences that sit between music, movement, and spatial activation. Her work has been presented in community and contemporary art contexts, including exhibitions and performance outcomes developed through the Tennant Creek Brio, and is shaped by long-form, collaborative, and place-based practice.
CODED FUTURE brings this evolving performance language into an intimate exhibition setting, where live elements unfold in close proximity to the audience.
