Current - APW Gallery Exhibition

Original prints by Nusra Latif Qureshi

 23 August - 18 October 2025

This exhibition presents a beautiful new suite of original prints by Nusra Latif Qureshi created in collaboration with APW printers at Australian Print Workshop in 2025.

Nusra’s introduction to the medium of lithography allowed her to extend the drawing-based elements of her practice and research new material.

Deepening her interest in the interplay between humans and nature, the work reimagines the relationship between subject and environment - exploring concepts of intentional and unintentional encounters and the legacies of colonisation.

“…. My aim was to unpack, challenge and expand those concepts into forms that have been tentative so far in my studio practice. This required a focused effort and allowed time for exploration in an unfamiliar environment…leading to a fruitful collaboration with Australian Print Workshop….”

Nusra Latif Qureshi (August 2025).
