Where Waters Carry Stories : BOOTH EO4, Sydney Contemporary Art Fair 2026
Exciting newcomers to Sydney Contemporary, Melanie Koolmatrie, Susan Peters Wangamirr Nampitjin and Janet Dreamer join Janice Stanley in Everywhen Arts' curated presentation Where Waters Carry Stories.
From Melanie Koolmatrie's striking pink lakes of Meningie in South Australia to Janice Stanley's shimmering salt lakes near Uluru, to Susan Peters Wangamirr Nampitjin's winding waterways that flow to the vast inland lake of Paruku (Lake Gregory), and Janet Dreamer's wildlife-rich rivers of the East Kimberley, the four artists featured in Where Waters Carry Stories evoke landscapes of profound cultural and environmental significance. Through their individual visions, these waterways emerge not simply as geographical features, but as living cultural landscapes that embody memory, identity and enduring connections to Country.
