Join artist Lisa Waup and guest curator Coby Edgar for an in-conversation to celebrate the opening of Lisa’s exhibition after ever here, on Saturday 28th February 2026, 2pm – 4pm.
Lisa Waup is a First Nations artist and curator of mixed cultural heritage, based in Narrm (Melbourne). Her diverse practice encompasses printmaking, weaving, sculpture, fashion, body adornment, and textiles, often pushing the boundaries in contemporary and experimental forms. Grounded in a profound engagement with materiality and their symbolic potential, Waup’s work weaves together personal experience, family connections, ancestral histories, and the enduring relationship to Country. Through this, she creates powerful narratives that speak to identity, memory, and resilience.
after ever here is guest curated by Coby Ann Edgar. Edgar is a queer multi-racial (Gulumoerrigin (Larrakia) / Jingili / Filipino / Chinese / Irish / Scottish / English) First Nations curator, writer and presenter living and working on unceded Gadigal land in Redfern, Sydney. With over 15 years’ experience in government positions across education, galleries, and museums, in 2025 Edgar transitioned to independent work to focus on building her consultancy company Driftwood Consultancy.
This event is free entry, with bookings requested to help plan catering and seating.
