Booth I3
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.
