Exquisite Bodies is a dynamic interactive exhibition developed in collaboration with disabled artist Bruno Booth and AGWA’s Head of Learning and Creativity Research, Lilly Blue.

Interrogating and expanding ideas of beauty, mobility and inclusivity, this participatory exhibition draws on the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse, as an open-ended celebration of perceived error, surprise, and wide-ranging lived experience.

Through the collaboration with Bruno Booth and his practice as a disabled artist, this accessible all-ages exhibition invites visitors to think about diversely abled bodies navigating a world that is uncomfortable by design, while celebrating the beauty and value of every body.

Exquisite Bodies is open 10am-5pm, daily (closed Tuesdays and Good Friday)

Bruno Booth School Holiday Workshop
10.30-11.30am & 12-1pm Wednesday 19 April 2023
All ages family workshop (ideal for 7+)

Join WA artist Bruno Booth for a fun-filled and experimental workshop exploring the interactive exhibition Exquisite Bodies.

Take creative risks and stretch your imagination to discover the wealth of possibilities that inhabit different bodies and how we see, shape and interact with the world around us.

Bruno will guide participants to create unique sculptures out of three-dimensional blocks, considering form, balance, movement and relationship.
