Collapsing Time
Mig Dann

March 25–April 19, 2026

For Collapsing Time artist Mig Dann presents multidisciplinary works from her oeuvre that investigate the power of memory; experiences of love and loss; and the historical oppression of women in society. Dann’s practice looks to the past in order to build a safe future.

Mig Dann is a Naarm / Melbourne-based artist who completed a practice-led PhD in the School of Art, RMIT University, Melbourne in 2022. Her multi–disciplinary practice has an experimental, performance-driven approach, from exploring complex childhood trauma through a critical narrative and feminist lens, to a practice that more generally engages the cultural politics of trauma in order to bring attention to the suffering in local and global communities, from refugees to climate catastrophes. Her work is informed by memory and forgetting, absence and presence, feminism, queer culture and decades of lived experience. She is particularly interested in how public art can create new and innovative relationships to existing sites.

Join us for the opening event: Saturday 28th March, 5-7pm
