23 October – 21 November 2026
Local artist and AJSQ member, Elysha Rei, has a new exhibition in South Brisbane.
Paper Echoes sees Rei Returning to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, thirty-eight years after being born in Tabuk. Here, she revisits a landscape previously known to her only through photographs, documents, family stories and archival footage. Renowned for her meticulous hand-cut designs, Rei’s work investigates the intersections of memory, identity, and belonging through the versatile and delicate medium of paper.
Through paper cutting, photography, video, scent and sound, Paper Echoes explores memory, inheritance and the connections between people and place. It asks how recognition can exist beyond conscious memory and how fragments of experience can reverberate across generations
Opening Event: Thursday 22 October, 6:30 – 8pm | Artist Talk 5:30 – 6:15pm
25A Bouquet Street South Brisbane 4101 QLD
