Holding Light

Holding Light is major exhibition at the Bondi Pavilion Art Gallery, bringing together professional artists and community members in creative response to the Bondi Beach terror attack.

 

Featuring works by 20–30 selected artists alongside a digital gallery of community submissions, the exhibition explores grief, resilience, memory, and solidarity. Through visual art, installation, digital media, and creative expression, it offers a space for reflection, connection, and healing.

 

Curated by Shalom Collective and supported by Waverley Council, the exhibition affirms art as a powerful communal language — one that enables individuals and communities to process trauma, honour loss, and rebuild meaning together.
