- **Event Description**: Join us for the opening of Tip the Bucket, an exhibition by Desirai Saunders exploring the Murri crab bucket through humour and illustrationAbout this EventCome and join us at our brand-new venue in West End to celebrate the opening of Tip the Bucket by Gunggari artist Desirai Saunders, created as part of Aboriginal Art Co's SafeSpace Residency program.The exhibition explores the Murri crab bucket as a metaphor for how systems of scarcity and colonisation continue to shape internalised survival behaviours within First Nations communities. It reflects on the conditions that give rise to these dynamics—environments where opportunity can feel limited, visibility carries weight, and survival instincts are learned and carried across generations.DESIRAI (Desirai Saunders) is a Gunggari digital illustrator whose work centres on contemporary First Nations experiences. Her practice focuses on character-driven illustration, using bold forms, expressive faces, and strong colour to explore emotion, identity, and the realities of navigating modern life as an Aboriginal woman.Her work places a strong emphasis on visual representation, particularly for First Nations youth, reflecting the everyday lived experiences of mob today. Drawing from personal observation and community, DESIRAI creates characters that feel familiar and emotionally direct, offering moments of recognition rather than idealisation. Through this approach, her illustrations contribute to normalising contemporary Aboriginal presence across digital, commercial, and public spaces.Through humour, exaggeration, and accessible visual language, Tip the Bucket invites viewers to slow down and sit with what has become normalised through survival. Rather than offering answers, the exhibition creates space for reflection—asking what might begin to shift when inherited ways of thinking are made visible, and when the bucket itself is gently disturbed.Event DetailsDate: Friday, 6 February 2026Time: 6:00pm–9:00pmVenue: Aboriginal Art Co — 1/23 Anthony Street, West End, QLD 4101Come and enjoy your Friday evening with thought-provoking artwork, community, and refreshments.
