r.a.g.e. – random acts of gentle expression explores the duality of passion and frustration that arises within the development of an arts practice. Bringing together a collection of works born out of the monthly discussions from Trocadero Projects’ Peer-to-Peer Program aimed to support emerging and mid-career artists – Fiona Barbetti, Aldona Kmieć, Catalina Labra-Odde, Stephanie Siu and Florence Wang ask the question, ‘how do I sustain a creative practice?’ In these works, concepts of time, conflict and growth become tangled in their intertwining paths. r.a.g.e. illuminates the silent negotiations that artists make in order to sustain a creative practice.

Dates: 4 March to 4 April 2026
Venue: Level 1, 40 Leeds Street, Footscray VIC 3011, Australia
