Please join us on Saturday 16 March from 5pm for the launch of Disco Dreamtime Drums, the brand new solo exhibition by Walmajarri artist, John Prince Siddon. At 5pm, the program kicks off with an artist talk between Siddon and guest curator Emilia Galatis, followed by a Welcome to Country and launch proceedings.

This is the artist’s first major solo in a public gallery in NSW, and will centre significant new sculptural installation, paintings, wallpaper and lightwork. The new commission works were created during and in response to the disastrous flooding in Fitzroy Crossing in 2023 that affected the artist and his community.

This major new commission at Cement Fondu offers Siddon the opportunity to create his largest ever installation to date, which will feature painted and embellished water barrels, his first foray into light and sound work, and an ambitious expansion of his signature painting style that mixes traditional and unconventional materials.
