Happy New Year from the team at DADAA! We’re starting the year with a ceramics exhibition at Midland Junction Arts Centre opening next Tuesday!

Parallel Paradigms celebrates the convergence of diverse artistic voices during a three-month residency at MJAC’s verandah studio, presenting works by DADAA arts workers and the artists with disability they work with. This eclectic collection of works explores the unique yet interconnected perspectives of individuals working across various realities and highlights how creativity can flourish through collaboration.

Through this shared artistic journey, Parallel Paradigms reveals the beauty and strength found at the intersection of diverse experiences and abilities.
