EXQUISITE BODIES

TOURING 2025-26

An all-ages, all-abilities interactive exhibition celebrating every body

Exquisite Bodies is a multi-sensory participatory exhibition for people of all ages and abilities, inviting them to create large figurative sculptures that morph and change in surprising ways.

Developed in collaboration by disabled artist Bruno Booth together with Lilly Blue and The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA), the exhibition challenges common ideas about disability and normalcy, encouraging play, discussion, and exploration. It uses materials and concepts suitable for children, teens, adults, and newcomers to art, ensuring everyone can enjoy and contribute meaningfully.

Inspired by the surrealist game Exquisite Corpse, the exhibition explores beauty, mobility, and ability. Exquisite Bodies challenges us to reshape our thinking and recognise ways that diversely abled bodies must navigate a world that is uncomfortable by design, at the same time celebrating the beauty and value of differently expressed ability.

About the Tour

This tour is the result of a unique partnership between ART ON THE MOVE, The Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA), Healthway, Rave About Arts and Shire of Carnarvon.

It represents the first time AGWA’s innovative Gallery 09 approach, which emphasises hands-on participation, creative dialogue, and community-led learning, has been piloted outside Perth.

On the ground, Exquisite Bodies is facilitated by local Teaching Artists and Creative Facilitators who develop their practice through on-the-job learning, interactive workshops, research and reflective processes drawn from AGWA’s Gallery 09 methodology.
