Rewind Forward: Creative in Residence Group Exhibition

  • Free
  • Art

Rewind Forward at the Victorian Archives Centre features the work of the 2025 Creative in Residence artists: Emile Zile, Sam Wallman, Shannon Slee, Susan Fitzgerald, and Queer-ways.

For the past four months they've been deep in the archives, uncovering hard truths and fascinating characters. Comics journalist, and dock worker Sam Wallman has looked into the impact of automation on the docks. Textile artist Shannon Slee is highlighting the historical violence on women’s bodies due to state laws that prohibited access to safe reproductive health care. Graphic designer Susan Fitzgerald has immersed herself in the history of transport ticket design and the lost manufacturing processes. Luciano and George Keats, who work collectively as Queer-ways have brought to life the outfits that landed people in the courts for gender non-conformity in the early 20th century. And video and performance artist Emile Zile has discovered the traces his own family have left behind in the archives.
