ALANNA BAXTER
Alanna baxter’s sculptural, digital and print artworks delve into the essence of community care in a post-capitalist society. Her pieces explore the interconnected tiers of self, relationships, and home, extending to the broader global community. In the current zeitgeist, characterized by relentless pursuits of new frontiers and ownership, alanna’s work serves as a poignant counter-narrative. She envisions a grand shift toward communal care, where survival hinges on mutual aid and collective existence. Through toying with materiality and recontextualisation of forms alanna synthesizes these diverse elements into a cohesive sphere of care, advocating for a world where we see all children as our own and every community member as family. Her work resonates with the belief that true progress lies not in individual conquest but in the embrace of a unified, caring village. alanna’s art invites viewers to reimagine a society where interconnectedness and shared responsibility are the cornerstones of our existence. The selected works juxtapose Western nuclear and monogamous fictions with multi-tiered models of love.

MERT BERDILEK
Tersine Göç | Reverse Migration - Photography by Mert Berdilek
After traversing 8000km+ on road across Türkiye, a project was born by photographer Mert Berdilek, on how the country has changed, or hasn't since its formation 100 years ago. Shot solely on medium-format film, Tersine Göç ('Reverse Migration' in Turkish) is a journey into the heart of a country and its people. Where the lines of past and present are blurred. Where in some of the most remote locations, that elusive purity in humanity we're searching for as artists, is found, even if it were for just a fleeting moment.
Mert Berdilek, is a Melbourne based Australian-Turkish Photographer & Filmmaker. Mert's work focuses on returning to his roots, for artistic exploration on core themes experienced by many migrant children living in diaspora. Mert's two major projects in 2024 address the same concept of "Reverse Migration" in two different mediums. Tersine Göç ('Reverse Migration' in Turkish) is a documentary portrait photography project shot from West to East Türkiye, and Geride Kalanlar ('The Remains' in Turkish) is a debut feature film project, entering production in December 2024, during winter in Eastern Türkiye.
