Coming up on the show on Monday 3rd June are two wonderful guests. First up we have Australian artist Michelle Hamer who we will be telling us about her new exhibition, I’m a Believer at Linden New Art (31 May until 25 August).

Michelle's work confronts the dismissive language of chronic health issues while delving into issues of gendered language, access and erasure in this striking new exhibition. When you consider the Victorian Government's enquiry into women's pain, the timeliness of this exhibition could not be more relevant. Michelle is known for her sustained practice with a focus on language which asks us to confront our fears, beliefs and aspirations. Michelle Hamer is a past winner of the Australian Tapestry Workshop’s Architecture in Tapestry Prize (2015), and the Fishersghost Macability Prize (2022). She works in the following mediums: hand stitching, digital photography and drawing. Michelle's exhibition is an integral story on the disenfranchisement felt by the sufferers of chronic health conditions, especially women.

After 5pm we will be speaking with Zaelea Nolte from the National Institute of Circus Arts upcoming performance called FAMOUS (14-22 June).

Zaelea started circus around the age of 6 and it continued to be a stable part of her life from that point on. Over the years she tried many different disciplines and is currently specialising in static trapeze, tightwire and Chinese pole while studying the Bachelor of Circus Arts at the national institute of circus arts in Melbourne in Australia. Combining her love for conceptual expression and acrobatics, Zaelea creates captivating performances that merge storytelling, symbolism, and emotion, taking audiences on transformative journeys. Her passion for fashion shines as she designs and sews visually stunning costumes, enhancing her artistic flair.
