The Cross Art Projects foregrounds contemporary work and curatorial projects that reflect the multiple relationships between art, life and the public sphere, and explores the boundaries of this context. We are attentive to the local without sacrificing the scope of Indigenous and international views. Cross Art enhances its projects with conversations, walks and events.

IncarcerNation is a major exhibition responding to urgent contemporary conversations about incarceration, justice and systemic inequality in the Northern Territory and across regional Australia.
The exhibition brings together leading artists whose practices examine the failures and violences of Australia’s prison system.
Through video, installation, photography, painting, illustration, sound and documentary practices, IncarcerNation foregrounds lived experience, resistance and community-led visions for change. The exhibition exposes systemic injustice while opening space for dialogue and imagining futures grounded in self-determination, accountability and care.
