Tumbinyeri – A Connection to Life, is an exhibition by proud Ngarrindjeri artist Emma Stenhouse.

Inspired by the landscapes that have shaped her journey, the collection explores connection to Country, culture and community through vibrant contemporary works. Rich in colour and symbolism, the exhibition reflects themes of identity, belonging and growth through a First Nations lens.

On display in Sofi's Lounge on Level 1, this free exhibition invites visitors to engage with culture as a living and evolving practice.

Presented by Sofitel Melbourne on Collins, a hotel for the arts.
