Still Moves: Australian and International Animation

5 September to 25 October 2026⁠
Bayside Gallery
Bunurong Country, Brighton, VIC

Our award winning stop-motion animation Tangki (Donkeys) is showing as part of Still moves: Australian and International Animation this September and October.

Directed by Jonathan Daw, three Anangu women of different generations tell the story of how donkeys came to be malpa wiru (valuable friends and helpers), to families in the desert community of Pukatja (Ernabella) in the APY Lands of northern South Australia. At first wary of these strange animals, Anangu quickly became fond of the donkeys. They would set off on them for picnics and longer journeys, always returning home safely. With the arrival of cars, people’s relationship with donkeys changed. But one special donkey found a different way to remain a good friend to people in Pukatja.

The exhibition brings together a series of hand-made animations from artists across mediums of sculpture, painting, collage and drawing. Find out more.
