HERO

Curated by Yuriyal Bridgeman

6 – 20 December 2025

Opening event: 4-6pm Saturday 6 December, all welcome.

Hero is a group show curated by Yuriyal Bridgeman bringing together friends, collaborators and colleagues exploring our connections to animals. From friendships and kinships with animals, to more abstract ideas of ‘anima’; meaning life, breath or soul in Latin. The show is titled for the comic book character The Phantom’s companion white horse, Hero.
