Water Walks - Karleen Gwinner

Hello Creatives,

Limina is a Latin word meaning the outermost edges, the Hand Bent Banana Gallery in Tallebudgera Valley is at the limina of the Gold Coast. We’re looking for expressions of interest from local artists for this exhibition - edginess is most welcome!

Aqua Limina: A Living Pulse, Creek to Coast invites artist/audiences to think locally and holistically about water's role in culture and ecology and through the water systems of Southeast QLD. Curatorially the exhibition evokes a poetic and ecological journey through the water inviting exploration into transitional, emotional, and imaginative spaces where water shapes identity, memory, and art. It bridges Bachelardian dream-poetics with a grounded sense of place and ecology.

EOI- Callout We invite expressions of interest from artists living and working in Southeast Queensland to participate in Aqua Limina: A Living Pulse, Creek to Coast—a curated group exhibition exploring the elemental force of water through place-based, symbolic, and philosophical lenses.

Artists are encouraged to respond to water not only as a physical substance, but as a liminal force—shaping emotional landscapes, cultural identities, ecological cycles, and ancestral memory.
