Join us on a Sunday afternoon to hear Anita Cummins discuss their current exhibition, Some kind of mood. Following the talk, Anita, along with Aisyah Aaqil Sumito, will be holding a pronoun badge-making workshop. The talk and workshop form an extended discussion on some of themes explored in Cummins’ work. MORE INFO ON WORKSHOP > 

Some kind of mood considers the everyday ritual of taking medication and going to therapy, both events that are commonly associated with mental and chronic illness.
Together with the contributions of community, Cummins has amassed a collection of associated materials such as prescription medication boxes, blister packs, images,
stories, tissues and tears. Through the reimagining of these accumulated materials as an installation, the often-invisible is made visible and an opportunity for communal dialogue and exchange is presented.

Anita Cummins is a queer artist living in Narrm (melbourne) on unceded Wurundjeri country. In response to various systems of oppression, their work aims to seek out and uncover alternative modes and methods for coping, healing and recovery. They employ the use of repetitive methodologies as a mechanism for the processing and exploration of complex emotional states.
