About Exchange Country
Exchange Country is a visual artist residency program, conceived by Noongar artist Rohin Kickett, and supported by the City, designed to facilitate meaningful connections, skills development and cultural exchange between First Nations artists across Western Australia.
The program offers an opportunity for artists to spend time on Country, making new connections, collaborations and the creation of new artworks inspired by this exchange. The project timeline and travel is artist led, to facilitate meaningful exchanges, allowing for flexibility and to make the most of new opportunities made through connections.
Artworks produced as part of this project will feature in a major exhibition, scoped for 2026, and some of the works created during these exchanges will be acquired for the City of Melville’s Art Collection.
