Bus Projects

Opening celebrations 3 June 6-8pm ! ⭐️

This month, BUS projects introduces Nipaluna-based artist Sophie Coe. Introducing entirely new bodies of work, Coe continues her conceptual interrogation of beauty standards and embodied strength, asking her audience to consider whose standards they perform and how reclaiming attention from beauty culture can foster agency, change, and self-determined goals. In collaboration with Kamilaroi curator Tabitha Glanville, the pair create a new site of joy and celebration of each other as artists, and friends.

The formation of stars known elsewhere as ‘Pleiades’ is known by Kamilaroi people as ‘miyay-miyay’, which translates directly as ‘group of girls’. Centring this knowledge as a portal for healing and gathering, Coe & Glanville bring together their artistic and spiritual imperatives, as women who have held each other up in support, grief, and immense love. ‘Us as stars, as women’ presents this relationship in velvet and warm light, inviting the audience to be absorbed by the peace and security of women’s love and kinship.
