JENNA MAYILEMA LEE: Of Smoke and Rain

We are pleased be welcome you to the first major solo exhibition by Jenna Mayilema Lee, a Gulumerridjin (Larrakia), Wardaman, and Karrajarri Saltwater woman.

'Of Smoke and Rain' spans five years of practice, bringing together new and existing works that reflect Lee’s ongoing exploration of language, materiality, and the transformation of inherited histories. Lee explores the elemental forces that shape life in the tropical north, reflecting on the cyclical nature of the seasons, centering on moments of transformation, when the first rains break the build-up, and when life returns after fire. Anchored by a new installation that evokes shifts brought by these first rains, 'Of Smoke and Rain' presents a second body of work that speaks to renewal and regeneration after fire.

6 August–27 September 2025
Wednesday–Friday, 10am–4pm
Saturday, 8am–2pm
