Slow Read Exhibition [Hawthorn]

In an era of constant scrolling and visual saturation, Hawthorn Arts Centre’s ‘Slow Read’ exhibition turns our attention back to the printed page and to quiet, deliberate acts of looking and reading.

In the exhibition, multi-disciplinary artworks explore the possibilities of the book format, where artists utilise source materials from personal collections of books, archives and more. Through collage and assemblage, artists invite us to slow down and engage with these works – allowing our imaginations to wander through poetic new combinations and sometimes unexpected pairings.
 
The exhibition is open from Wednesday 6 May to Saturday 25 July 2026 | Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
 
Featuring: Zoë Croggon, Gracia and Louise, Nadia Hernández, Deborah Kelly and others.
