Around the Block is an outdoor exhibition of moving image works, unfolding across Next Wave, Blak Dot Gallery, Counihan Gallery, and Michelle Guglielmo Park from 9 July – 20 August.
Works will change every two weeks, allowing the program to shift over time – something to return to or stumble upon again.

These artists were selected through open calls initiated by Next Wave, Blak Dot and Counihan Gallery. The program platforms artists from a diversity of lived experiences, many of whom are emerging in their practice, and engages with themes of identity, place, playfulness, and temporality.
