About POSTWORLD:

6 December 2025 - 8 March 2026

POSTWORLD features Australian artists who create parallel universes. Audiences are invited into the playful, sublime, poetic and cautionary in this exhibition. Drawing on the detritus of human experience, these worlds have their own internal languages existing in alternate time and space.

As this show was built, each artist’s work expanded on this thematic provocation, finding pathways to comfort, resistant to the overwhelming sense of panic. Stillness, awe and appreciation resonated, honouring the world beyond its utility to provide resources for consumption in the Anthropocene.

New fictions (and possible futures) are rendered, providing alternate perspectives on the environment, gender and capitalist hegemony.

POSTWORLD is a touring initiative co-curated by Kate O’Hara and Daniel Qualischefski, developed by Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts (Umbrella), commissioned by NAFA and toured by Museums & Galleries Queensland (M&G QLD). This project has been assisted by the Australian Government’s Visions of Australia program and by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland. Umbrella is also supported by the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation and receives funding from Creative Australia through the Australian Cultural Fund.

Umbrella and M&G QLD are supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland.
