Walkabout: '(Un)charted Territories

​Join us this Saturday 01 August 2026 at 11:30 for a walkabout of (Un)charted Territories in the JGCBA at WAM. Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the exhibition, sharing fresh insights and new perspectives. The exhibition reimagines the artist’s book as a unique cartographic instrument. Moving beyond traditional geography, these works transform the map from a tool of control into a dynamic space for encounter and discovery. The exhibition highlights diverse books that use physical maps, layered folds, and cartographic symbols to visually translate abstract concepts Entrance is free. We look forward to seeing you there!
