رُفات قِدّيسٍ (rufat qiddys: object of a holy person)

rufat qiddys is a phonetic translation of the Arabic phrase for object of a holy person, or, relic. For this Object Space exhibition rachel farag questions the nature of a relic – who decides what becomes a relic and what deserves to be immortalised or given value?

Australian Design Centre presents this exhibition in celebration of the 2024 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Object Space is a window gallery located in the window of the Australian Design Centre HQ on William Street in Darlinghurst. The exhibition space has direct street frontage, is accessible to view 24 hours a day and is lit for viewing at night.
