The Essence of Experience, 2024
Acrylic and liquefying medium on paper
RAW25 was an annual showcase of the best original artworks produced by young people of the Murray region. This year’s exhibition featured nine artists, highlighting the unique perspectives and experiences of our local young people.
The 2025 exhibition presented themes centred on the experience of being (a young) human – exploring self-identity, mental health, community, environment and belonging – through a range of mediums including painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, textiles and digital media.
As part of the RAW program, participating artists are involved in a series of workshops with MAMA curatorial staff covering aspects of concept development, artwork preparation, and exhibition installation as well as feedback for future projects, and development of public programs. From this the artists involved take a leading role in the development of their exhibition.
Featuring artists: Alexa Taylor, Alexandra McNamara, Amy Bishop, Brianna Walker, Chiana Broydell, Claudia Alessi, Indita Yaxley, Martin Fraser and Stella Thurkettle.
Applications for the RAW program are open all year round and successful applicants are reviewed and chosen in September each year.
