“Join Antonia Perricone-Mrljak to discuss her latest body of work at Sydney Contemporary 2025.
The daughter of Italian immigrants to Australia, Antonia’s background has defined her sense of identity and underpins all aspects of her artistic process.
For Antonia, memory and mark-making have a symbiotic relationship, and are each connected not only on the canvas in the present, but from the human and environmental influences of the past.
“”The whole of our actions and desires are bound up with the existence of other human beings“ she states. “”My works are a culmination of all that has gone before me and all that comes after. I invite the viewer to make their own judgment. To experience the works in relationship to their own humanity.””
Hosted by FHE Galleries.
Location: Booth I04 – FHE Galleries, Carriageworks.
“Join for a conversation led by Gallery Director and Founder Emily Parker, delving into the gallery’s presentation and the evolving role of printmaking in contemporary art.
Known for its immersive, process-driven and tactile nature, printmaking continues to push conceptual and material boundaries. This talk will explore the innovative practices behind the works on show and offer insights into why print and paper-based artworks are increasingly resonating with collectors – both as distinctive standalone pieces and as meaningful additions to broader collections.”
Hosted by PARKER Contemporary.

“In this talk, hear insights into the working relationship between artist and printer, focusing on examples from the first five years of co-publishing and limited edition printing with contemporary Australian artists at Megalo Editions.
At its heart a collaborative project, Megalo printers have worked in close partnership with artists Joel Arthur, Tom Buckland, Tony Curran, Arone Meeks (Kuku Midigi), Saskia Morris, April Phillips (Wiradjuri / Scottish) and Naomi Zouwer. Through the project artists are invited to work in close partnership with Megalo printers on new limited editions, open to ambitious experimentation, process and expanding print languages.”
