Now accepting 2027 First Site Gallery project proposals
Are you an RMIT student with a creative project you’d like to share? We are calling for proposals from RMIT students, who are currently enrolled in the College of Design and Social Context, to exhibit in the 2027 First Site Gallery exhibition program.
'Docile Anatomy' by Gina Corridore & Zoe Denton
Through absurdist video and intricately crocheted metal, 'Docile Anatomy' examines how femininity is shaped and performed, exposing the hidden labour often expected of women and challenging outdated yet enduring societal expectations.
'The Voice of the Maribyrnong' by Elijah Cristiano
Elijah Cristiano combines underwater footage, archival images and sound to examine the Maribyrnong River’s colonial and industrial histories – and the ways photography has framed the river.
'Vườn lan (Orchid Garden)' by Minh-An Pham
Rooted in his mother’s favourite flower, 'Vườn lan (Orchid Garden)' revisits Minh-An Pham’s parents’ wedding photographs as a means of reflecting on their relationship, his own experiences, and memory and longing more broadly.
'For Holding' by Claire Garwoli, Davin Ivatts and Zosia Slifirski Duckett
'For Holding' is an invitation to pause – and to hold. Polished bronze objects lie nestled in carved wooden dishes, waiting to be lifted and read. They ask to be held for a moment and perhaps, in turn, to return that touch – a quiet exchange between hand and thing.
