A group exhibition 'Animal Heart' will be held at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre in the ACT, Australia from April 6th 2017 to April 29th, 2017, exploring human and animal relationships with artworks questioning our treatment of animals.

The collection includes photography, sculpture, an installation and mixed media drawings and paintings, with work ranging from figurative to metaphorical and personal to political. The artists - Caroline Ambrus, Dianna Budd, Janet Long, John Gould, Kerry Shepherdson, Rebecca Selleck, Shan Crosbie and Tanya Stollznow - explore subjects such as kangaroo culling, greyhound racing, leather use, cruelty to animals and destruction of habitat.
