NUTCH (Family) - Lakarri Faerber 

Featuring a solo exhibition by local artist Lakarri Faerber (Karri), Nutch (Family), exploring the connection and the importance of family. Lakarri is a proud Gooreng Gooreng and Wakka Wakka woman based in Yallarm (Gladstone). Her practice explores connection to family, culture and Country through contemporary visual storytelling across acrylic painting, digital illustration and projection installation.

Coming from a creative family, Karri was strongly influenced by her grandmother Juliri Ingra, who introduced her to creative practice through textile printing and storytelling. Working primarily with acrylic on canvas before expanding into digital projection and installation, her practice continues to evolve through interactive forms that bring stories of Country, culture and identity into contemporary spaces.
