Crossing Currents is a collaborative exhibition by Future Cultures, the Naarm / Melbourne-based artist collective formed by Katherine Gailer (Katira, COL) and Lucy Desbordes (Lucy Lucy, FR). The immersive exhibition brings together large-scale paintings, installations, motion graphics, and live performances to extend their ongoing cross-cultural dialogue. Merging voices from disparate cultures, the artists offer unique yet cohesive perspectives on the contemporary weaving of cultures, identity and modernity.
Infused with Latin American iconography, Katira’s practice is rooted in magical realism, creating symbolic portals into ancestry and cultural memory. Lucy’s work blends French folklore with contemporary global and Australian aesthetics to explore culture and the power of diversity.
As two evolving women from disparate cultures, they envision an equitable future that fosters agency through shared creation and feminine empowerment.
Supported by City Of Melbourne.
