Revealing stories gathered from more than fifteen years of arts practice at The Abbotsford Convent, Leopoldseder shares a multi-sensory exhibition of contemporary jewellery and objects; coupled with immersive audio-digital responses from musicians, photographers, animators, and actors.

 

Bring your smart phone and headphones to engage the digital experience.

 

Sometimes small and intimate, at other times, dramatically scaled up, amplifying connections between worn object as identity marker and the influence of place. The jewellery and objects meander through facets of what the Convent might have meant to communities of the past, its extraordinary salvage from private redevelopment and its significance to creatives and visitors who share in its story now.
