EXQUISITE BODIES

TOURING 2025-26

A partnership with the Art Gallery of Western Australia

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. 

Exquisite Bodies will tour to two locations across 2025-26 for a period of up to 6 months each, supporting meaningful engagement, arts learning, and wellbeing across these communities. On the ground, Exquisite Bodies is facilitated by local Teaching Artists who develop their practice through on-the-job learning, interactive workshops, research and reflective processes drawn from AGWA’s Gallery 09 methodology.
