Through Our Eyes: Climate Change in Focus

December 2024 – June 2025

Led by Australian photographer Hilary Wardhaugh, the #EverydayClimateCrisis Visual Petition called on Australian women and non-binary people to submit images and personal statements showing the state of the environment and their experience of climate change. The 1,247 crowd-sourced photos were tabled in the Australian Parliament in July 2022, a protest that will be permanently recorded in the Parliament’s official record, Hansard. These photos tell stories of change, loss, adaptation and resilience and explore the diverse ways in which climate change touches the lives and landscapes of Australia. Many were captured on a smartphone, in the moment, and are a deeply personal, deeply local message from the women of Australia to the world.

We invite you to witness these powerful visual narratives in the exhibition 'Through Our Eyes: Climate Change in Focus' at the Australian Embassy Berlin  and learn more about what Australia is doing to fight climate change and achieve a more sustainable future at home and abroad.

The exhibition has been realised with thanks to Hilary Wardhaugh. It is displayed in the foyer of the Australian Embassy Berlin and open to visitors Mo-Fri from 09.30 to 16.30. If you are interested in visiting the exhibition, please let us know by registering at [email protected].

 

And Then Life Was Beautiful

February – November 2024

The Australian Embassy is delighted to show an early career survey of digital illustrations by Dylan Mooney, a proud First Nations / Yuwi, Torres Strait, and South Sea Islander man living and working on Quandamooka Country near Brisbane, Australia.

Dylan Mooney is among artists who are rethinking digital technologies and artistic practices to consider contemporary issues around identity, desire and representation. Interested in the ways in which we can reframe the conversation around some of the voices that have been left out, the artist has made an important body of work that embodies a shift in representation of queer love among people of colour.

Influenced by history, culture and family, Mooney responds to community stories, current affairs and social media. Armed with a rich cultural upbringing, Mooney now translates the knowledge and stories passed down to him, through art. Legally blind, the digital medium’s backlit display allows the artist to produce a high-impact illustrative style with bright, saturated colour that reflects his experiences with keen political energy and insight. This blending of digital technology and social commentary is a uniting of the artist’s sense of optimism – pride within the works exude with profoundness and substance.

The exhibition 'And Then Life Was Beautiful' has been realised with thanks to Dylan Mooney and N.Smith Gallery, Sydney
