‘What We Have to Say’, explores the work of
contemporary Australian artists, whose creative
practice questions and disrupts a traditional and
conservative art discourse. The exhibition launch,
featuring artists such as Cigdem Aydemir, Kieran
Butler, Cybele Cox, Rachel Haynes and Jumaadi
more broadly asks the viewer to question the
impact of these disruptions to the centre, from
the margins.106 Blue Mountainslife
