Reciprocity—the response of a positive action with another positive action—is the theme for ANAT SPECTRA 2025, reflecting the goal to create space for two-way listening and learning for mutual exchanges of beneficial energy and support to all involved. Reciprocity is cultivating relationships through giving and receiving, enhancing care, ethical collaborations, and meaningful exchange in creative practice. The theme invites reflection on the impact of our work and encourages practitioners to examine how reciprocity can shape creative ideas.
UniSC Art Gallery will present a major exhibition curated from Expressions of Interest from Australian artists who work in any genre or medium whose artistic practice intersects and deeply engages with science and/or technology and the theme, Reciprocity.
