Congratulations to the winner of the $1,000 People’s Choice Award at this year’s Incinerator Art Award Exhibition, Zamara Zamara.

Zamara's work ‘Ring in the case of Complaint’ questions when and how our agency to complain (and protest) is limited socially and politically, and critiques how agency often comes with instructions about maintaining bodily and social boundaries. This work addresses how deviation from these structures of facilitation is made difficult by governing bodies, yet through continual use, things become easier to use resulting in a gradual lessoning of the effort required to survive in a resistive environment.

Thank you to all who visited the exhibition this year, and who voted for the People’s Choice Award.

We look forward to next year’s exhibition!

The Incinerator Art Award exhibition will be on until Sunday 28 November. Explore this inspiring display of works and vote for your favourite!

Pictured here is A World of One's own, an ongoing series of spoken conversations between artist and writer Tai Snaith with a wide range of female-identifying and non-binary artists whom she respects and admires.

The aim of this series is to share life experiences and lived knowledges in a personal manner to an audience of peers and younger female-identifying practitioners who may not hear, or have the confidence, or the means to access these conversations otherwise.

Jen Rae and Clair G Coleman was the recipient of one of the four $2,500 Incinerator Art Awards for their work Refugium.

Centred on First Nations knowledge and protocols, Refugium is a video essay by Jen Rae and Claire G. Coleman that delves into moral dilemmas of life and death, focusing on child-centred trauma prevention and intergenerational justice. Via the imagined collapse of another apocalypse, the video asks: what are the conversations that should we be having now that might aid us, our loved ones and our future ancestors? What are we willing to give up and fight for in the greatest challenge facing humanity? What skills and knowledges are at the thresholds of being lost, undervalued or overlooked for future generations due to climate breakdown?

This work of speculative fiction suggests that systematic social change in the form of 're-worlding' is critical for the wellbeing and survival of those yet to be born.

View the impressive shortlisted works by 23 talented artists now on display at the Gallery.

Laresa Kosloff was the recipient of one of the four $2,500 Incinerator Art Awards for her short film Radical Acts.

Radical Acts is a critical short film by Laresa Kosloff made entirely from corporate stock footage sourced from the internet. The artist has used this footage to create a fantastical tale about a group of frustrated climate scientists who develop a mind-altering pathogen in order to disrupt corporate productivity.

Although the story is fictional, it reflects contemporary realities such as the dire situation of climate crisis, political corruption, fake news, corporate greed and the revolutionary potential of non-violent civil disobedience.

View the impressive shortlisted works by 23 talented artists now on display at the Gallery.

Ara Dolatian’s series of earthenware vessels are inspired by an ancient collection in the Iraq Museum that includes precious relics from Mesopotamian, Babylonian and Persian civilisations. Ara Dolatian first encountered these artefacts during his early childhood, recalling objects that gleamed with vibrant colours despite their age.
