National Carers Week, Care for a Carer: You are invited – SILENT GROUND by Connie Wong | Exhibition & Opening Night

14 Oct 2026 - 25 Oct 2026 10.00am - 3.00pm

Dear friends and community members,

I am delighted to share my solo exhibition, Silent Ground, featuring a vibrant selection of works created in 2026. As mentioned in my SBS interview, I transform my daily life experiences – including age, gender, immigration and longtime carer – into creative work.

In honour of National Carers Week, Silent Ground is a celebration of creative renewal and a tribute to the resilience of unpaid carers in our communities. This isn’t a showcase of silence but is an invitation to viewers into a space where vulnerability becomes strength and the inner self is given room to breathe.

I hope my work can resonate with viewers to care about the nature and the people next to us.
