As an Australian-Chinese lion dancer, my personal experience of the Lunar New Year has always been defined by our lively performances all over Sydney. From traditional shop blessings in Chinatown, to LED dragons and lions lighting up the harbour at Circular Quay, CNY 2022: Day and Night aims to capture the spirit of these scenes through three sets of two banners, featuring the Dragon, the Lion, and the zodiac Tiger. Each pair consists of a red Day version recalling a traditional festive ambience, and a complementary Night version, which transforms the same theme into a modern display of dazzling light.

Marking the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the Korean Cultural Centre last year, the Korean Cultural Centre Australia in partnership with the REAL DMZ PROJECT presents Negotiating Borders, Sydney; an international exhibition of the work of renowned Korean artists. Taking place in the Korean Cultural Centre Gallery from Friday January 28 and Tuesday March 29, Negotiating Borders, Sydney reflects on the past and present situations of the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), a strip of land running across the Korean Peninsula. The exhibition uses the unprecedented times we currently live in as a metaphor for the possibility of a new future between North and South Korea. Presented across a gallery space within the Korean Cultural Centre, the exhibition features works by top Korean artists, showing moments of border-crossing and correspondence between the two Koreas in varying ways and degrees.

The title of Jess Bradford's solo exhibition Moon on Water takes its inspiration from an old East Asian proverb 'Mirror Flower, Water Moon'. Much like the slipperiness of time and memory, the proverb itself is also hard to pin down. Perhaps one can think of it as the unattainability of something, it can be seen but not touched, like a flower's reflection in a mirror or the way that the moon shines upon the surface of the water. What we see in those reflections is a mere copy, a mirage. Taking this metaphor of a reflection Bradford has created a new suite of ceramics and miniature paintings that engage with the many layers of memory and representation. The imagery of animals that appear in these new paintings - one of which one is coloured, something new for Bradford - is taken from the artist's archive of found photographs of Haw Par Villa, a 'cultural theme park' in Singapore. The animals however are actually just another mirage, they are sculptures held w

Then & Now is a collection of works celebrating a handful of Sydney's iconic Asian businesses that have shut their doors or suffered from the Covid-19 pandemic. Every piece juxtaposes the fierce tiger against each establishment's iconic façade to create empowering images, showing just how vital they were to Sydney's identity. I wish my banners to become more than just artworks; I want to make historical documents that these businesses existed and resonated with communities. In the Asian community, these businesses were spaces of safety, comfort and experiences that will leave everlasting memories. About the artist: Andrew Yee (b. 1989, Sydney) is multidisciplinary artist working across illustration, video, installation and podcasting. Yee's formative years spent in Sydney's East Ryde district created a disconnect with his surroundings, searching for his identity through a consumption of 2000s manga, pro-wrestling, the spectacle of K-pop and the emotional draw of

An exhibition by 3 artists: Rodger Bartlett, Virginia McGill and Maureen O'Keeffe who have been Harrington Street Gallery Co-operative members almost since the gallery's inception in the 1970s. Rodger is a Sydney born Architect and artist who, after living in Balmain for many years, now lives in Tasmania. He has been limited in his travel to Sydney due to the Covid 19 pandemic and has therefore sought inspiration and solace in this exhibition from painting the varied landscapes within his neigbourhood in Swansea. Virginia was born and raised in Inner west Sydney and now lives in Balmain. While she is an artist inspired by the art teaching of the late John Ogburn she is also a music tutor at WEA Sydney having been awarded a PHD later in life. Her paintings reflect her world of music and art, her home in Balmain and her travels overseas. Maureen lives in Glebe not far from the John Ogburn Studio for Painting and Drawing where she was a student in the 80s and 90s and which opened

In Korea, the Saekdong jeogori is a rainbow traditional dress worn during Lunar New Year celebrations. The colourful stripes are believed to provide protection from evil spirits and bring good fortune.

The Chinese philosophy of yin-yang describes the notion of opposing forces being complimentary and interdependent in the natural world. The 2022 Lunar New Year welcomes the tiger as the new zodiac animal, a creature that is both revered and feared. In Chinese culture, the tiger is a symbol of power, strength and positive energy; the greatest earthly power and the physical embodiment of yang. In 2022, the tiger is in its water element. Water is understood to be the most yin in character of the five elements in nature. Chen's artwork, Contained, brings together these two elements of yin and yang, where both tiger and water share common opposing characteristics such as tranquillity, stillness and calmness, while also capable of demonstrating great strength, ferocity, and power. The artwork also includes narratives around the artists' cross-cultural experience as an Asian-Australian. About the artist Susan Chen is a Chinese Australian artist, working out of her studio in Sydney'
