Exhibition | Chirriger Kwilla – An Exploration of Noongar Totems
2025-12-17 10:00 - 16:00 | Zig Zag Gallery, 50 Railway Road, Kalamunda, WA, 6076, Australia
We are excited to announce Chirriger Kwilla – An Exploration of Noongar Totems at the Zig Zag Gallery in Kalamunda.

This intergenerational exhibition brings together celebrated Noongar artist Peter Farmer Snr and his son Peter Farmer Jnr, presenting new works on canvas created especially for this show.
At its heart are the artists’ deeply personal connections to their ancestral totems — the Chirriger (Blue Wren) and the Kwilla (Great White Shark) — alongside the element totem Kaarl (Fire). Totems are guides connecting us to culture, language, and lineage.
Through their art, the Farmers invite audiences to reflect on the strength of Noongar identity and its evolving place within contemporary art today.
This exhibition is proudly supported by the WA Government’s Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport (CITS).

Treeson by Western Australian artist Sally Stoneman will be on display at the Rockingham Arts Centre from Wednesday 3 December to Sunday 21 December. Opening hours 10am – 12.30pm and 1pm – 4pm, Wednesday to Sunday.
Treeson is a collection of works, including sculptures, created over the last few years along with a new body of paintings and drawings. A soundscape weaves each element together and acts as an opportunity for the viewer to reflect on their relationship to the environment.
Through the use of found materials, several works in Treeson also discuss stories of the past and present including colonisation, environmental fragility, resilience, erosion, and our interconnection and interaction with nature being at the heart of our future.
An Opening Event and Artist Talk with Sally Stoneman will be held on Saturday 6 December, 4pm – 6pm. Register here
