‘“For the third iteration of the Regional Arts Triennial we look to the future, building upon the legacy of the past. Standing upon the shoulders of The Alternative Archive, which explored historical cultural capital of the past, and Open Borders, which interrogated contemporary barriers of the present – Radical Futures continues this trajectory, creating aspirational visions of the future for regional Western Australia”.

“To be part of the Gascoyne’s first involvement in the Triennial is incredibly meaningful. I’m excited to co-create a new cultural landscape — one that honours the past while dreaming boldly into the future.”
