Coral Futures presents a range of poetic and speculative responses to coral, the small marine animals that form the foundations of healthy reef ecologies, now facing unprecedented, existential threats from human-induced climate change. Bringing together new and recent projects by First Nations artists from Erub Arts (Jimmy John Thaiday, Florence Gutchen, Nancy Naawi, Lavinia Ketchell) and contemporary Australian artists Helga Groves, Laresa Kosloff, Nicholas Mangan, Rachel O’Reilly, and Marian Tubbs, this exhibition considers coral’s importance to the survival of vital marine ecosystems like the Great Barrier Reef, as well as its implications for broader cultural, economic, and environmental systems.
This exhibition is presented in partnership with the University of Sunshine Coast Art Gallery, Queensland, where it will be shown 1 August –
17 October 2026.
