Pain Scale curated by Sinneart Meena at Sydenham International.

Enacting Dreams/Always Knitting was curated by Sinneart Meena at Sydneyham International.

Featuring Artists, Alannah Dair, Sehej Kaur and Amy Claire Mills.

Pain Scale is a group exhibition featuring four female artists who explore human experiences with chronic illness, pain and disability. These artists draw attention to bodily conditions and pull back the curtain on medical systems and systems of care to reveal their lived experiences, as both patients and caregivers. The works in this exhibition variously consider the relationships between bodies, culture and politics and the friction often experienced when encountering systems of care. Through personal narratives that stem from their everyday experiences, the artists offer valuable insights into what is often unseen and difficult to translate, interpret, or represent. They open conversations on shared experience and space for empathy, resistance and subversion. 

This show was a privilege, with important work speaking to fundamental human experiences.
