HELEN PYNOR ‘Bone Adrift: Chimeric Conversations’ at Bankstown Art Centre and Woollahra Gallery
April 30, 2025
Helen Pynor is featured in the collaborative exhibition ‘Bone Adrift’ at Bankstown Art Centre from 29.03. – 03.05.25.
Through a workshop series and installations, Helen and creative producer Lizzie Crouch explore fluid (dis)ability identities, and strange and unexpected relations between materials, objects, bodies and people in a project at the intersection of art, medical science, disability theory and lived experience. The exhibition features Pynor’s installation Habitation (2021), Bone Drift: Chimeric Conversations, generating dialogue about porous boundaries and expanded ways to understand our evolving (dis)abled personal identities.
There will be a closing panel at Bankstown Art Centre on Saturday 3rd May from 2-4pm. ‘Bone Adrift’ will then travel to Woollahra Gallery from 07.05. – 01.06.25, with the opening event on Wednesday 7th May from 6-8pm.
