 EXHIBITION ARARAT Lisa Waup

Lisa Waup | after ever here

28 Feb 2026 – 16 Aug 2026

after ever here is an exhibition by Lisa Waup that brings together printed works, utilitarian vessels, sculptures, and body adornment, each imbued with layered stories of material history. The exhibition centres on textiles both found and gifted, whose fibres already carry histories and memory.

Through her practice, Waup extends these narratives, reanimating objects once set aside and granting them renewed life and altered intention. Grounded in a profound engagement with materiality and their symbolic potential, Waup’s work weaves together personal experience, family connections, ancestral histories, and the enduring relationship to Country.
