Lisa Waup - after ever here
Guest curated by Coby Edgar.
Lisa Waup is a First Nations artist and curator of mixed cultural heritage, based in Narrm (Melbourne). Her diverse practice encompasses printmaking, weaving, sculpture, fashion, body adornment, and textiles, often pushing the boundaries in contemporary and experimental forms. Grounded in a profound engagement with materiality and their symbolic potential, Waup's work weaves together personal experience, family connections, ancestral histories, and the enduring relationship to Country. Through this, she creates powerful narratives that speak to identity, memory, and resilience.
after ever here is an exhibition by Lisa Waup that brings together printed works, utilitarian vessels, sculptures, and body adornment, each imbued with layered stories of material history. The exhibition centres on textiles both found and gifted, whose fibres already carry histories and memory. Through her practice, Waup extends these narratives, reanimating objects once set aside and granting them renewed life and altered intention.
By observing and honouring the histories embedded in these materials, Waup reveals their intimacy and beauty, transforming them into works that adapt and evolve. In after ever here, Waup traces the enduring significance of materiality across time, while inscribing her own voice threaded into their continuing story.
