Temporal Legacies
19 - 22 February 2026


MARS Gallery (Booth I3) will present a significant line-up of First Nations artists in Temporal

Legacies for Melbourne Art Fair 2026 between 19 – 22 February. Spotlighting works deeply

imbued in recontextualising Country, the artists in this exhibition investigate the complexities

of First Nations heritage through their unique voices.

 

Temporal Legacies will unveil exceptional and arresting new works across different mediums

by artists Jenna Lee (Larrakia), Damien Shen (Ngarrindjeri), Cassie Sullivan

(lutruwita/Tasmanian), Georgia Boseley (Central and Eastern Arrernte) and Madi Mercer

(Wadawurrung).

 

As one of the oldest continuous living cultures in the world, these artists reflect on past

legacies and community in their practice. What connects them all is their extensive

knowledge and commitment to reclaiming and celebrating their cultural identity. Temporal

Legacies honours the resilient life force of Australia’s Indigenous history.
