Summary
Ditch your phone and dive into Slow Read, a dazzling new exhibition celebrating the printed page as art. Artists across Australia transform books into immersive, tactile experiences—collages, poetry fragments, stitched calendars—demanding your focus and time. Jacky Cheng’s cardboard phone trick and Jayda Wilson’s colonial archive pieces show how slowing down reveals deeper stories. Curator Rachel Keir-Smith champions this antidote to doom-scrolling, proving art made from books can calm your mind and sharpen your focus. Come for the beauty, stay for the meaning.
