Art And Design

Borrowing its title from Hank Williams and Elvis, this major winter exhibition makes the case that the antidote to absence is presence.

The exhibition brings together paintings and woven pieces by First Peoples women with lived experience of incarceration, celebrating strength, survival and cultural connection.

The program for Australia’s largest architecture festival is here. Also on the line-up: a tour of St Ali’s coffee roastery, a first look at Melbourne Airport’s new drop-off and pick-up zones and more historic and off-limits buildings.

Among the highlights of the June through August art calendar: previously unseen Cartier jewels worn by Elizabeth Taylor and Rihanna, a legendary photographer at Heide and a major show dedicated to the gum tree.

See the tiara worn by Rihanna, Elizabeth Taylor’s famous ruby necklace, the extravagant Patiala necklace and more up close at this sparkling show that brings together royal jewels, rare gems and never-before-seen designs from one of the world’s most famous jewellery houses.
