In collaboration with Kamilaroi curator Tabitha Glanville, the pair cultivate a space of joy, tenderness, and mutual recognition. A site shaped as much by artistic practice as by the deep friendship that sustains it.

The star cluster known by western knowledge as the Pleiades is understood by Kamilaroi people as miyay-miyay, meaning group of girls.

This constellation is a gathering place, a story of sisters, a reminder of the protective and luminous force of women moving together. Coe and Glanville centre this knowledge as a portal for healing, kinship, and return.

Us as Stars, as Horses draws these threads into a shared horizon. Velvet, warm light, and punching colour create an atmosphere of safety, an invitation to step inside the quiet power of women’s love, care, and interdependence.

The exhibition becomes a constellation in its own right, both artists orbiting one another, holding space through grief, through change, through the everyday work of staying alive and staying connected.

Kinship is not an aside, it is a methodology. These bodies of work are the trace of that friendship, glowing like stars that have always known how to find each other in the dark.
