Broken/Resilient by Rebecca Cannon and Ashlee Hambleton

Exhibition Dates
28 June - 9 August 2025
Little Gallery, Level 2

Broken/Resilient is a collaborative exhibition by dance/movement artist Rebecca Cannon and visual artist Ashlee Hambleton of Red Elephant Creative Tas. Broken/Resilient explores the theme of pain and aims to promote the benefits of the arts as a wellbeing tool. Pain is a unique, personal journey, and not always visible, this exhibition acknowledges challenges pain presents, while exploring resilience and strength discovered in the process. Inspired by both artists’ personal lived experience with pain and how they used the arts as a well-being tool to help process their experiences. The artists also found inspiration in the Japanese artform of Kintsugi, in which broken pottery is repaired with gold, to create a new artwork celebrating imperfection. Broken/Resilient explores multiple mediums to represent the many ways pain is experienced, including dance/movement films, macrame, gestural drawing, watercolour, colour pencil, photography, collage and paper sculpture.
