Glasshouse Regional Gallery presents:
The Neighbour at the Gate: Sound Bath and Meditation
Join us for a restorative Sound Bath experience inspired by the themes of The Neighbour at the Gate. Through meditation, sound and deep listening, participants are invited to slow down, reflect and connect with the exhibition's exploration of migration, belonging, identity, and resilience.
Surrounded by contemporary artworks, this immersive session will use crystal singing bowls and gentle soundscapes to create a calming environment that encourages reflection and mindfulness.
Whether you are visiting the exhibition for the first time or returning for a deeper experience, this unique program offers an opportunity to engage with the exhibition through stillness, contemplation and sensory awareness.
Please bring your own:
• Pillow
• Yoga mat or cushion
• Water bottle
• Cosy blanket (the body can feel cold as you fall into a relaxed state)
• Eye mask – if possible
No previous meditation experience is required.
Free event. Bookings essential as places are limited.
About The Exhibition
The Neighbour at the Gate is a major exhibition presented by the National Art School Gallery, with a guest Curatorium led by Clothilde Bullen (Wardandi Noongar and Badimaya Yamatji) with Micheal Do and Zali Morgan (Whadjuk Balladong and Wilman Noongar).
Bringing together newly commissioned works by leading Australian artists Jacky Cheng, Elham Eshraghian-Haakansson, Dennis Golding (Kamilaroi/Gamilaraay), Jenna Mayilema Lee (Gulumerridjin (Larrakia), Wardaman, KarraJarri), James Nguyen and James Tylor (Kaurna, Thura-Yura language region), the exhibition reckons with the echoes of colonialism and immigration policies in Australia, unravelling how these forces continue to shape First Nations and Asian Australian experiences and relationships.
Across various mediums and perspectives, The Neighbour at the Gate charts the entangled legacies of exclusion and resilience, drawing vital parallels between the past and present, memory and nationhood.
