Do You Read Me: Text-based works from the MPRG Collection
14 June – 24 August

This exhibition brings together works from the MPRG Collection that use text to convey their meaning. The exhibition features the works of 25 artists and collectives that have been acquired into the collection over the past 50 years, including Juan Davila, Robert Fielding, Guerrilla Girls, Katherine Hattam, Gareth Sansom, Lisa Waup and others.

The exhibition is supported by three activation spaces, including a text-based making activity, a reading nook, supported by Mornington Peninsula Library, and a Mayor's Short Story Writing Awards room, where previous category winners are proudly on display.

For the school holidays, kids can dive into bookmaking with Kids Own Publishing, explore monotype printing with local printmaker Jennifer Buntine, or get playful with words and image in a text-based print workshop.
