KALAMUNDA’S Zig Zag Gallery is currently hosting a captivating exploration of cultural identity and ancestral memory through an exhibition of the evocative work of Natalie de Rozario.

Titled ‘A Bag of Rice for a Saturday Child’, the exhibition draws from personal family archives, heirlooms, and oral histories to weave together a compelling narrative of migration.

Through a diverse collection of paintings, photographs, and installations, de Rozario examines how the stories of our ancestors continue to live on and transform through our own modern experiences.

The exhibition centres on themes of resilience and ritual, inviting the local community to reflect on how we honor those who have passed and how their legacies shape our daily lives.

De Rozario is a highly regarded figure in the Western Australian art scene, most notably recognised as a finalist in the 2023 Lester Art Prize.

Her impressive career also includes winning the City of Canning Resident Art Award, and the City of Gosnells Work on Paper Award in 2022.

Beyond her studio practice, the artist is a dedicated advocate for social and environmental causes, having produced several fundraising exhibitions for bushfire relief and international aid.

The Zig Zag Gallery at 50 Railway Road, Kalamunda is hosting the exhibition daily until April 6.

Visitors can attend between 9am and 4pm on weekdays, or from 10am to 4pm on weekends.
