This year’s SALA Featured Artist is Julia Robinson, a South Australian visual artist working in the fields of sculpture and installation. Julia’s work reflects an interest in pre-Christian rituals and calendrical customs relating to fertility and the cycle of the seasons, and by extension, cycles of growth and decay. Julia creates objects that sit at the intersection of folklore, ritual and folk horror.
Julia’s work will feature on the SALA poster, cover of the printed program and Julia will be the subject of the 2024 South Australian Living Artists Publication, which will be penned by Leigh Robb, Hannah Kent and emerging writer Jess Taylor. SALA is also working with a number of talented South Australian artists; Nicole Black and James Dodd’s artwork will feature on the SALA Skoda cars which will be zipping around Adelaide during the festival.
Georgia Cheeseman’s work will feature on the SALA merchandise, available online, and when you’re shopping at Foodland during August make sure to pick up one of the colourful SALA shopping bags with printed artwork by Amanda Westley, Eliza Koch and Lucinda Penn.
The 2024 SALA Festival will take place from 1st of August to 31st of August
